A Dynamic Structure of Social Trait Space
Abstract
Facial appearance evokes robust impressions of other people's personality traits. Recent research suggests that the trait space arising from face-based impressions shifts due to context and social cognitive factors. We suggest a novel framework in which multiple bottom-up and top-down processes mutually determine a dynamic rather than fixed trait space.
Keywords: dimensional models; face evaluation; person perception; representational similarity analysis; social cognition.
