Facial Width-to-Height Ratio Does Not Predict Self-Reported Behavioral Tendencies

Kosinski, Michal

A growing number of studies have linked facial width-to-height ratio (fWHR) with various antisocial or violent behavioral tendencies. However, those studies have predominantly been laboratory based and low powered. Behavioral tendencies were measured using 55 well-established psychometric scales, including self-report scales measuring intelligence, domains and facets of the five-factor model of personality, impulsiveness, sense of fairness, sensational interests, self-monitoring, impression management, and satisfaction with life. The findings revealed that fWHR is not substantially linked with any of these self-reported measures of behavioral tendencies, calling into question whether the links between fWHR and behavior generalize beyond the small samples and specific experimental settings that have been used in past fWHR research.

Ever looked in the mirror to see what messages you've unknowingly been giving off to those around you? Whether we like it or not, our faces are hugely important in shaping how we are perceived.

People with square faces are seen as more AGGRESSIVE than those with oval faces, study finds

Daily Mail - Science & tech

From Zac Efron to Margot Robbie, many of the world's most beautiful celebrities are known for their square faces. Now, a new study claims that people with this face shape are seen as more aggressive than those with oval faces, such as Rihanna and Ben Affleck. Researchers from the University of New South Wales measured the facial-width-to-height ratio (FWHR) of 17,607 passport images of male and female faces, before asking people to rate them for aggression. The results revealed that faces with a high FWHR (square faces) were rated as more aggressive than people with low FWHR (oval faces) – particularly if they belonged to young men.

AI just got way creepier because it can now read your personality from a selfie

#artificialintelligence

Can you tell what a completely random person is like just by staring at a selfie? Selfies can't automatically give away personality traits to the human eye. This is where AI has just gotten more fascinating or downright scarier, depending on how you see it. Artificial neural networks are now able to figure out what your next potential date (or anyone else) could be like just by being creepy. AI developed by a team of Russian scientists can predict traits like agreeableness, neuroticism, openness and extraversion just by scanning photos. It could be revolutionary for finding optimal matches not just for dating, but also customer service and online tutoring, among other things.
