三项研究验证了这一假设，即娃娃脸的青春期男孩会通过与之相反的行为来弥补人们对他们将表现出孩子般特征的不良期望。研究1和2显示，来自中下层社会的样本，包括一个少年犯样本，娃娃脸的男孩表现出比他们成熟面孔的同龄人更高的学业成就，驳斥了娃娃脸的人智力低下的刻板印象。在下层社会样本中，这种补偿效应受到智商和社会经济地位（SES）的调节，这些变量影响克服低期望的能力。研究三表明，娃娃脸也能产生负性补偿行为。社会经济地位低的娃娃脸男孩比他们成熟面孔的同龄人更容易犯罪，娃娃脸的罪犯犯下更多的罪行，驳斥了娃娃脸的人热情，顺从和身体虚弱的刻板印象。
Three studies tested the hypothesis that babyfaced adolescent boys would compensate for the undesirable expectation that they will exhibit childlike traits by behaving contrary to it. Studies 1 and 2 revealed that babyfaced boys from middle- and lower class samples, including a sample of delinquents, showed higher academic achievement than their mature-faced peers, refuting the stereotype of babyfaced people as intellectually weak. In the lower class samples, this compensation effect was moderated by IQ and socioeconomic status (SES), variables that influence the ability to overcome low expectations. Study 3 showed that babyfaceness also can produce negative compensatory behaviors. Low-SES babyfaced boys were more likely than their mature-faced peers to be delinquent, and babyfaced delinquents committed more crimes, refuting the stereotype of babyfaced people as warm, submissive, and physically weak.
