来自面孔的能力印象会影响重要的决策，如招聘和投票。在这里，使用数据驱动的计算模型，我们确定了能力刻板印象的组成部分。由能力模型操纵的面孔在吸引力方面各不相同（实验1a）。然而，面孔可以操纵知觉能力控制的吸引力（实验1b），此外，面孔被认为是更有能力，但没有吸引力也被认为是更自信和男性化，这表明偏见，认为男性面孔比女性面孔更有能力（实验2）。相应地，被操纵的脸看起来有能力，但没有吸引力，更有可能被归类为男性（实验3）。当男性气质线索，诱导能力的印象施加到现实生活中的图像，这些线索更有效的男性面孔（实验4）。这些发现表明，能力印象的主要组成部分是吸引力，自信和男性气质，它们揭示了我们如何形成对其他人的重要印象的性别偏见。
Competence impressions from faces affect important decisions, such as hiring and voting. Here, using data-driven computational models, we identified the components of the competence stereotype. Faces manipulated by a competence model varied in attractiveness (Experiment 1a). However, faces could be manipulated on perceived competence controlling for attractiveness (Experiment 1b); moreover, faces perceived as more competent but not attractive were also perceived as more confident and masculine, suggesting a bias to perceive male faces as more competent than female faces (Experiment 2). Correspondingly, faces manipulated to appear competent but not attractive were more likely to be classified as male (Experiment 3). When masculinity cues that induced competence impressions were applied to real-life images, these cues were more effective on male faces (Experiment 4). These findings suggest that the main components of competence impressions are attractiveness, confidence, and masculinity, and they reveal gender biases in how we form important impressions of other people.
