No Evidence That Women's Sociosexuality or Self-Perceived Mate Value Predict Their Preferences for Men's Face-Shape Masculinity
Researchers have suggested that men with more masculine facial characteristics have stronger immune systems but are perceived to be less likely to invest resources in partners and offspring. How women resolve this putative trade-off between the costs and benefits of choosing a masculine mate have previously been reported to be associated with women's openness to uncommitted relationships (i.e., their sociosexuality) and self-perceived mate value.…
Decoding the language of first impressions
First impressions formed from facial appearance predict important social outcomes. Existing models of these impressions indicate they are underpinned by dimensions of Valence and Dominance, and are typically derived by applying data reduction methods to explicit ratings of faces for a range of traits. However, this approach is potentially problematic because the trait ratings may not fully capture the dimensions on which people spontaneously asse…
Examining the “attractiveness halo effect” across cultures
Mapping physical characteristics in face images to social judgements
Sutherland and Young (Br. J. Psychol., 113, 2022, 1056) provide a comprehensive and timely overview of recent developments in research on social judgements of faces, emphasizing the utility of data-driven approaches. Here, we expand on this theme, focusing on how data-driven approaches can provide new insights into the physical characteristics in face images that best predict social judgements
What Does Women’s Facial Attractiveness Signal? Implications for an Evolutionary Perspective on Appearance Enhancement
Co-authored contributing in particular to the section Understanding Appearance Enhancement in the Digital Domain. Models of appearance enhancement have typically focused on explaining the motivation behind appearance-enhancement behaviors as they apply to face-to-face, real-world interactions. However, with increasing amounts of social interaction taking place online, models of appearance enhancement will also need to be able to account for the r…
Perceptions of Emotional Functionality
Emotions are linked to wide sets of action tendencies, and it can be difficult to predict which specific action tendency will be motivated or indulged in response to individual experiences of emotion. Building on a functional perspective of emotion, we investigate whether anger and shame connect to different behavioral intentions in dignity, face, and honor cultures. Using simple animations that showed perpetrators taking resources from victims, …
To which world regions does the valence-dominance model of social perception apply
Over the past 10 years, Oosterhof and Todorov’s valence–dominance model has emerged as the most prominent account of how people evaluate faces on social dimensions. In this model, two dimensions (valence and dominance) underpin social judgements of faces. Because this model has primarily been developed and tested in Western regions, it is unclear whether these findings apply to other regions. We addressed this question by replicating Oosterhof an…
Success of in vitro fertilization and its association with the levels of psychophysiological stress before and during the treatment
Despite the advance of assisted reproduction, high rates of failure in treatment are still observed. Herein, we investigated how the psychophysiological stress profiles of patients can modulate the in vitro fertilization treatment (IVF) outcome. The women who had failure in IVF ( n = 13; 65%) had higher baseline salivary cortisol awakening response and anxiety-state during treatment than patients who became pregnant ( n = 7; 35%). Patients with m…
Influência da prática do yoga sobre os sintomas do climatério
Introdução: Yoga vem sendo praticado há mais de três mil anos e atualmente seu conjunto de técnicas de controle do corpo e da mente tem sido adotado por milhares de pessoas em todo o mundo. Um número crescente de estudos têm atribuído ao yoga benefícios significativos para a reabilitação da saúde do indivíduo. Na mulher, o processo de envelhecimento é marcado pela suspensão da atividade folicular ovariana (menopausa) durante o período do climatér…
