(ITA - 2016 - 1 FASE) Your Facial Bone Structure Has a Big Influence on How People See You () Selfies, headshots, mug shots 1photos of oneself convey more these days than snapshots ever did back in the Kodak era. 2Most digitally minded people continually post and update pictures of themselves at professional, social media and dating sites such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Match.com and Tinder. For better or worse, viewers then tend to make snap judgments about someones personality or character from a single shot. As such, 3it can be a stressful task to select the photo that conveys the best impression of ourselves. 4For those of us seeking to appear friendly and trustworthy to others, a new study underscores an old, chipper piece of advice: Put on a happy face. A newly published series of experiments by cognitive neuroscientists at New York University is reinforcing the relevance of facial expressions to perceptions of characteristics such as trustworthiness and friendliness. 5More importantly, the research also revealed the unexpected finding that perceptions of abilities such as physical strength are not dependent on facial expressions but rather on facial bone structure. The teams first experiment featured photographs of 10 different people presenting five different facial expressions each. Study subjects rated how friendly, trustworthy or strong the person in each photo appeared. A separate group of subjects scored each face on an emotional scale from very angry to very happy. And three experts not involved in either of the previous two ratings to avoid confounding results calculated the facial width-to-height ratio for each face. 6An analysis revealed that participants generally ranked people with a happy expression as friendly and trustworthy but not those with angry expressions. 7Surprisingly, participants did not rank faces as indicative of physical strength based on facial expression but graded faces that were very broad as that of a strong individual. In a second survey facial expression and facial structure were manipulated in computer-generated faces. Participants rated each face for the same traits as in the first survey, with the addition of a rating for warmth. Again, people thought a happy expression, but not an angry one, indicated friendliness, trustworthiness and in this case, warmth. The researchers then showed two additional sets of participants the same faces, this time either with areas relevant to facial expressions obscured or the width cropped. In the first variation, for faces lacking emotional cues, people could no longer perceive personality traits but could still perceive strength based on width. Similarly, for those faces lacking structural cues, people could no longer perceive strength but could still perceive personality traits based on facial expressions. In a third iteration of the survey participants had to pick four faces out of a lineup of eight faces varied for expression and width that they might select either as their financial advisor or as the winner of a power-lifting competition. As might be expected, 8participants picked faces with happier expressions as financial advisors and 9selected broader faces as belonging to power-lifting champs. In a final survey the researchers generated more than 100 variations of one individual base face by varying facial features. Participants saw two faces at a time, and then picked one as either trustworthy or high in ability or as a good financial advisor or power-lifting winner. Using these results, a computer then created an average face for each of these four categories, which were shown to a separate set of participants who had to pick which face appeared either more trustworthy or stronger. Most of the participants found the computer-generated averages to be good representations of trustworthiness or strength 10and generally saw the average financial advisor face as more trustworthy and the powerlifter face as stronger. The findings from all four surveys were published in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin on June 18.

(ITA - 2015 - 1 FASE) THE MAN IN THE CONVERTIBLE One morning, well after I was diagnosed with cancer, I got an email from Robbee Kosak,7Carnegie Mellons vice president for advancement. She told me a story. 22She said she had been driving home from work the night before, and11she found herself behind a man in a convertible.1It was a warm, gorgeous, early-spring evening, and the man had his top down and all his windows lowered. His arm was hanging over8the drivers side door, and his fingers were tapping along to the music on his radio. His head was bobbing along, too,13as the wind blew through his hair. Robbee changed lanes and pulled a little closer. From the side, she could see that the man had a slight smile on his face, the kind of16absentminded smile a person might have when hes all alone, happy in his own thoughts.12Robbee found herself thinking: Wow, this is the epitome of a person appreciating this day and this moment. The convertible18eventually turned the corner, and thats when Robbee got a look at9the mans full face. Oh my God, she said to herself. Its Randy Pausch! 2She was so struck by the sight of me. She knew that my cancer diagnosis was grim. And yet,14as she wrote in her email,3she was moved by how contented I seemed. In this private moment,4I was19obviously in high spirits. Robbee wrote in her email: You can never know how much that glimpse of you made my day, reminding me of what life is all about. I read10Robbees email several times. I came to look at it15as a feedback loop of sorts. It has not always been easy to stay positive through my cancer treatment. When you have a dire medical issue, its tough to know how youre20really faring emotionally. I had wondered whether a part of me was acting when I was with other people. Maybe at times I forced myself to appear strong and upbeat. Many cancer patients feel obliged to put up a brave front. Was I doing that, too? But Robbee had come upon me in an unguarded moment. Id like to think she saw me as I am.5She21certainly saw me as I was that evening. Her mail was just a paragraph, but it meant a great deal to me.6She had given me a window into myself. I was still fully17engaged. I still knew life was good. I was doing OK. Fonte: PAUSCH, R. The last lecture. New York, Hyperion, 2008. p. 64 - 65. O autor do texto
