Description: Psychology study exploring the relationships between personality, facial expressions and lasting facial features.
Running Head: FIRST IMPRESSIONS What's In A Face: Correlations Of Self, Spouse, And Stranger Ratings Of Personality One reason for the reported correlations of self and stranger ratings of personality may be that people's facial expressions, over time, form lasting features on their faces. The accuracy of impressions from facial features could, therefore, increase with the age of the people being judged. We attempted to assess this hypothesis by asking subjects (25 married couples) to rate themselves and their spouses on the 20 bipolar questions used by Watson (1989). Facial photographs were taken of each subject and shown to 42 students, who rated the photographed subjects on the same 20 questions. Ratings by self, spouse, and strangers were compared. Although the correlations of stranger with the other two ratings were minimal, they tender to be larger for older targets. Given the small number of subjects, further research is necessary.
