PSYB10H3 Chapter Notes - Chapter 4: Availability Heuristic, Agreeableness, Extraversion And Introversion
Document Summary
Understanding others is difficult but it"s a vital part of everyday life. It takes us mere fraction of a second to form an impression of a stranger from their face. We judge people on their height, weight, skin color, hair color, tattoos eyeglasses, facial beauty and other aspects of appearance. Physiognomy art of reading character from faces: tendency persists today. Full round face, curly hair, long eyelashes, large eyes, short nose, full lips and an upturned mouth: kind hearted features. Adults with baby-faced features large, round eyes, high eyebrows, round cheeks, large forehead, smooth skin, rounded chin tend to be warm, kind, na ve, weak, honest and submissive. Adults with mature features small eyes, low browns, small forehead wrinkled skin and an angular chin seen as more stronger, dominant, more competent. Judges tend to favor baby-faced adults for intentional wrong-doing but not for negligence.
