The Dependence of the Perception of the Individual-psychological Characteristics of a Person on the Morphotype of his Face

Abstract

The effect of the face shape on the perception of the personality is studied in the article. The photographs of men and women demonstrated at random were computer-manipulated to have a different type of face configuration, namely: square, rectangle, round, diamond-shaped and triangle. The analysis of variance revealed that the form of the face had a strong effect on the perception of some of the target personality characteristics and had no effect on the others.
