通过面部特征识别他人的身份在生活中是必不可少的。使用相关和实验的方法，我们研究了人的知识偏见的看法，其他人的面部身份。当参与者认为任何两个人在性格上更相似时，他们的脸被认为相应地更相似（通过鼠标跟踪评估，研究1）。此外，参与者对被认为具有更相似个性的目标个体的面部表征被发现具有更大的物理相似性（通过反向相关评估，研究2和3）。最后，当参与者了解到性格更相似的新个体时，他们的脸在视觉上表现得更相似（研究4）。总之，研究结果表明，面部身份的感知不仅受到面部特征的驱动，而且还受到我们对他人的了解的个人知识的驱动，尽管这些身份缺乏任何物理相似性，但它偏向于替代身份。
Recognition of others' identity through facial features is essential in life. Using both correlational and experimental approaches, we examined how person knowledge biases the perception of others' facial identity. When a participant believed any two individuals were more similar in personality, their faces were perceived to be correspondingly more similar (assessed via mousetracking, Study 1). Further, participants' facial representations of target individuals that were believed to have a more similar personality were found to have a greater physical resemblance (assessed via reverse-correlation, Studies 2 and 3). Finally, when participants learned about novel individuals who had a more similar personality, their faces were visually represented more similarly (Study 4). Together, the findings show that the perception of facial identity is driven not only by facial features but also the person knowledge we have learned about others, biasing it toward alternate identities despite the fact that those identities lack any physical resemblance.
