Have you ever looked at a stranger’s face and immediately formed certain expectations about their character?
The idea that dominant personality traits will show in a person’s face has a long history and is still
commonplace, a fact confirmed by numerous studies. There is, however, no scientific evidence to endorse this
popular belief.
The well-known British psychologist Professor David Perrett examines this question from a unique angle. In his
book, In Your Face: the New Science of Human Attraction, Perrett puts forward the theory that it might be a
person’s face or general appearance that influences personality rather than vice versa.
He argues that how we see ourselves depends on how others treat us. His studies have shown that many
people who consider themselves extroverts used to receive a positive response from those around them, so
they have learnt to be confident and outgoing. This process may start in childhood. A young boy with a
masculine face and build will be treated with more respect by other children, and consequently will likely
develop the self-assurance that is considered part of a typically ‘masculine’ personality. Hence, his appearance
has pre-determined an aspect of his character.
One other conclusion coming from Perrett’s studies is that we might easily be misled by our assumed ability to
‘read’ people’s faces. Perrett argues that baby-faced people, that is those who resemble infants with their big
eyes, large foreheads and small chins, are often seen as trustworthy or in need of protection. This results in
fewer baby-faced defendants in criminal trials being convicted because jurors assume that such ‘innocent-
looking’ people could not have intended to commit a crime. Those with more mature faces do not get the same
benefit of the doubt.

To all those who are interested in improving their social skills, I’d like to recommend a book called Contact:
