人们对自己的特质和能力的推断往往在增强。一系列的实验表明，这种增强也延伸到了更自动和更感性的判断上，比如人们认为自己的脸比实际上更有吸引力。在每一个实验中，参与者的脸被使用变形程序变得或多或少有吸引力。参与者更有可能将自己的脸从队列中识别出一个有吸引力的增强版本作为自己的脸，并且他们在一系列分心的脸中更快地识别出一个有吸引力的增强版本。这种增强偏向发生在一个人自己的脸和一个朋友的脸，但不是一个相对陌生人的脸。这种增强与自我价值的内隐测量相关，但与外显测量无关，这与各种增强是一个相对自动的过程而不是深思熟虑的过程相一致。
People's inferences about their own traits and abilities are often enhancing. A series of experiments suggests that this enhancement extends to more automatic and perceptual judgments as well, such that people recognize their own faces as being more physically attractive than they actually are. In each experiment, participants' faces were made more or less attractive using a morphing procedure. Participants were more likely to recognize an attractively enhanced version of their own face out of a lineup as their own, and they identified an attractively enhanced version of their face more quickly in a lineup of distracter faces. This enhancement bias occurred for both one's own face and a friend's face but not for a relative stranger's face. Such enhancement was correlated with implicit measures of self-worth but not with explicit measures, consistent with this variety of enhancement being a relatively automatic rather than deliberative process.
