Subject Area: Cognitive

We compare how Americans and Chinese people infer personality traits from three-dimensional body shapes. Using data-driven analyses, we analyzed 30 traits from the Big Five across 140 body models in 160 participants. Cultural differences influence trait perceptions: Americans view skinnier bodies as more extraverted; Chinese view them as less extraverted.
