此前的研究表明，仅仅是面部视觉暗示与体重之间存在着很强的联系。它们可以被利用来有效地判断人体的重量。我们测试了观察者能够在多大程度上根据同一种族和不同种族的面孔来判断体重和身高。高加索人和亚洲人的观察者看到了高加索人和亚洲人的面孔，并仅根据面部的灰度照片估计了这个人的体重和身高。这些身高和体重估计受到熟悉面孔比例和脸部-身体关系的种族中心主义细节的影响。本民族的权重估计比外国种族的估计显示出更高的准确性。观察者以一种以文化为中心的方式忽视了其他文化面孔权重的变化。相比之下，身高判断反映的是更高程度的复杂。在这里，对自己熟悉的身高比例的偏见是显而易见的，特别是对日本观察者来说。然而，身高判断表明，观察者在一定程度上能够纳入其他种族的身高比例。(C)2013爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Previous research has revealed a strong relationship between mere visual facial cues and body weight. They can be exploited to validly judge the weight of the human body. We tested to what extent observers are able to judge body weight and height on the basis of same-ethnicity and different-ethnicity faces. Caucasian and Asian observers saw Caucasian and Asian faces and estimated the person's weight and height - merely on the basis of greyscale photographs of the face. These height and weight estimates were influenced by ethnocentric specifics of familiar face proportion and face-body relationship. Own-ethnicity weight estimations showed higher accuracy than foreign-ethnicity estimations. Observers ignored the changed base-rate for weight of other-culture faces in a culture-egocentric fashion. Height judgments, in contrast, reflect a higher degree of sophistication. A bias toward the own, familiar body proportion was visible here, especially for Japanese observers however, the height judgments showed that observers were able to incorporate the other-ethnicity height proportion to some extent.
