Hey, Eyes Down Here! Bodies Explain More Variance in Person Perception Than Faces
- Paul Connor
University of California, Berkeley
Abstract
I obtained ratings on perceptions of 24 traits from over 1000 participants of full body images of 790 diverse targets, swapping faces and bodies with Photoshop. Surprisingly, I find that bodies explain many times more variance in stereotypical attributions than faces on almost all traits measured.
