目前的工作研究的情绪相似的面部线索的印象形成的贡献。存在着使人看起来情绪化的常见面部线索，男性或女性，我们从中得出人格推断。我们首先进行了一项试点研究，以评估这些影响。我们发现，中性女性和中性男性的面孔被认为比中性男性的面孔更顺从，更亲和，更天真，更诚实，更合作，更幼稚，更恐惧，更快乐，更少生气。在我们的初步研究中，我们随后将这些相同的中性面孔“扭曲”到其相应的愤怒和恐惧显示上，因此所得的面部外观线索现在在结构上类似于情绪，同时保留中性面孔（e。例如，在一个实施例中，没有皱纹、沟、折痕等）。初步研究中发现的性别效应在初步研究中得到了复制，这表明存在明显的刻板印象。重要的是，中性过度恐惧扭曲与中性过度愤怒扭曲的评级也揭示了一个类似于基于性别的评级，揭示了直接归因于情绪过度概括的感知驱动的印象。
The current work examined contributions of emotion-resembling facial cues to impression formation. There exist common facial cues that make people look emotional, male or female, and from which we derive personality inferences. We first conducted a Pilot Study to assess these effects. We found that neutral female versus neutral male faces were rated as more submissive, affiliative, naive, honest, cooperative, babyish, fearful, happy, and less angry than neutral male faces. In our Primary Study, we then "warped" these same neutral faces over their corresponding anger and fear displays so the resultant facial appearance cues now structurally resembled emotion while retaining a neutral visage (e. g., no wrinkles, furrows, creases, etc.). The gender effects found in the Pilot Study were replicated in the Primary Study, suggesting clear stereotype-driven impressions. Critically, ratings of the neutral-over-fear warps versus neutral-over-anger warps also revealed a profile similar to the gender-based ratings, revealing perceptually driven impressions directly attributable to emotion overgeneralisation.
