A NOTE ON RESPONSES TO FACES OF OTHERS.

Abstract

Ninety-four cadets rated the 'likeability' of pictures of 30 cadets unknown to them. Each of the cadet's faces being rated was shown in three poses: smiling, in repose, and in profile. The likeableness of the faces was quite stable for all three poses. The smiling faces received considerably more favorable responses than did the other two poses. The relative likeableness of the faces in different poses were not highly related. The range of groups positive and negative responses to the faces was quite broad. (Author)
