The facial features of the villain determine my three views, and the beautiful face will make us easier to trust.

Recently, a study published on the Humanities and Social Sciences Communications shows that we also trust the same face as ourselves, but this effect only occurs between the same sex. The face similarity of the opposite sex is not significant to our trust.

Researchers asked 30 Japanese college students (15 boys and 15 girls, 19-24 years old) to see the facial data sets composed of 200 Japanese college students (100 boys and 100 girls, 19-24 years old) facial image. And use 1 (very unbelievable) to 7 (very trustworthy) level opposite faith to rating. Use a computer to analyze the degree of faces of these 30 tested faces and 200 facial images. Analyze whether the credibility and facial difference are related.

▷ The relationship between different degrees of faces and credibility, blue represents the opposite sex, red indicates the same sex

The results show that people tend to use those who are similar to themselves to those who are similar to themselves to be more trustworthy, but when these faces are heterosexuals, faces similarity and credibility are not significantly related. Essence

Researchers speculate that because of the pure exposure effect: countless mirrors, photos, and staring at our faces in life, making us appreciate our faces more. Brain imaging research also reports: Seeing a face similar to us will inhibit the activity of almond nuclear in the brain. When the almond nuclear activity increases, we think that the other party is even more trustworthy.
