首先,对脸部照片的印象既取决于所拍摄图像的瞬时特征(人内差异),也取决于所描绘的人的面部的一致属性(人与人之间的差异)。在这里,我们考察了两个重要的来源的人内可变性:情绪表达和观点。我们发现,在信任度、支配性和吸引力等关键特征的社会印象方面,人内差异比人与人之间的差异更大,这些特征是面部印象理论模型中的主要维度。这种变异性最重要的来源是面部的情感表达,但照片的视角也会影响印象,调节表达的效果。例如,与面对其他地方的人相比,面对感知者时,表情愉快的面孔看起来最值得信任,而愤怒和厌恶的表情则相反。我们的发现强调了这些不同来源的变异性在社会印象形成中的整合。
First impressions made to photographs of faces can depend as much on momentary characteristics of the photographed image (within-person variability) as on consistent properties of the face of the person depicted (between-person variability). Here, we examine two important sources of within-person variability: emotional expression and viewpoint. We find more within-person variability than between-person variability for social impressions of key traits of trustworthiness, dominance, and attractiveness, which index the main dimensions in theoretical models of facial impressions. The most important source of this variability is the emotional expression of the face, but the viewpoint of the photograph also affects impressions and modulates the effects of expression. For example, faces look most trustworthy with a happy expression when they are facing the perceiver, compared to when they are facing elsewhere, whereas the opposite is true for anger and disgust. Our findings highlight the integration of these different sources of variability in social impression formation.
