项目摘要

The research described in this proposal will continue our investigation into the origins and significance of appearance-based stereotypes. The research plan has four major goals. The first is to determine the generality of infant preferences for attractive faces by studying these preferences across sets of culturally diverse faces and male faces. The second goal is to examine the social consequences of preferences for attractive faces by studying the reactions of adults to children who differ in appearance and by examining the relationship between attractiveness an minor physical anomalies in high risk children. The third goal is to understand the functional significance of appearance-based information by determining what information is conveyed to perceivers in faces differing in levels of attractiveness. Specifically, cues specifying age, gender, prototypicality, and affect are proposed to be facially-based signals which convey important information to perceivers about interactional partners. Our last goal is to conclude the series of studies we have been conducting on the role of appearance in biasing research using global judgments of attractive and unattractive targets. The work is expected to lead to new and different views of the role of appearance in development and to new explanations of the functional significance of appearance-based information.

本提案中描述的研究将继续我们的调查基于外观的起源和意义刻板印象。该研究计划有四个主要目标。第一个是为了确定婴儿对吸引力的偏好的一般性通过研究不同文化背景下的这些偏好多样化的面孔和男性面孔。第二个目标是检查通过研究对有吸引力的面孔的偏好的社会后果成人对外表和性格不同的孩子的反应通过检查未成年人吸引力之间的关系高危儿童的身体异常。第三个目标是了解基于外观的功能意义通过确定信息要传达给什么信息不同面孔的感知者的吸引力程度不同。具体来说，指定年龄、性别、原型和特征的线索情感被认为是基于面部的信号，传达向感知者提供有关互动伙伴的重要信息。我们的最后一个目标是完成我们已经进行的一系列研究进行外观在偏见研究中的作用对有吸引力和无吸引力目标的全球判断。工作预计将导致对角色的新的和不同的看法发展中的出现和功能的新解释基于外观的信息的重要性。
