May 1, 2008 · We form first impressions from faces despite warnings not to do so. Moreover, there is considerable agreement in our impressions, which carry significant social outcomes. Appearance matters because some facial qualities are so useful in guiding adaptive behavior that even a trace of those qualities can create an impression.

In the last decade, many cognitive neuroscience studies have explored the neural underpinnings of how impressions of other people, or person impressions, are made. This chapter reviews studies on the forming of impressions from facial appearance and from behavioral information.
Jul 26, 2022 · Impressions from faces are made remarkably quickly and they can underpin behaviour in a wide variety of social contexts. Over the last decade many studies have sought to trace the links between facial cues and social perception and behaviour.

Impressions can be made from facial appearance alone and assessments on attributes such as nice, strong, and smart based on variations of the targets’ face. The results show that subtle facial traits have meaningful consequences on impressions, which is true even for young children of 3 years old. [ 47 ]
Aug 17, 2021 · Previous research has uncovered an array of facial features that influence people’s impressions. Even though some (classes of) features, such as resemblances to emotional expressions or facial width-to-height ratio (fWHR), play a central role in theories of social perception, their relative importance in impression formation remains unclear.

The first two sections focus primarily on impressions made from others’ facial appearance. In the final section, we review lesion, fMRI, and ERP studies on the forming of impressions from multiple sources of information, including behavioral information and facial appearance.
The present paper considers facial information as a source of first impressions. More specifically, it examines judgments about psychological qualities of strangers based on their neutral expression faces in static photographs.
