Men small face easily overlooked?

The shape of a man's face can affect his "reputation" for those around him, according to a new study.

Psychologists from the University of Stirling (UK) discovered that men with smaller skulls are often considered to be less powerful than their peers with larger faces.

The conclusion was drawn after the team asked volunteers to view photos of students with neutral facial expressions and evaluate their personality advantages. Experts also took pictures of volunteers and asked them to fill out a survey about their own influence.

The study revealed a strong connection between the face of the man's face and the height of his face, and his "prestige" in his eyes as well as the judgment of others. The same thing has not been recorded in women.

Personality and Individual Differences, Viktoria Mileva, the head of the study, said that others' perception of men with large faces can make them think they have authority. treatment.

However, Mileva added: "This is also possible, men who have a larger width-to-face ratio (fWHR) have acted like a giant , perhaps due to the amount of male hormone testosterone. higher.

One mechanism can explain why the fWHR rate affects men's self-esteem and how others behave with them. If certain behavioral traits signal the level of influence, such as aggression, deception, or reliability, clearly seen on people's faces through the fWHR rate, our study renders only, the behavior of others to these individuals may not be the same ".

Previous studies have found that men who have a broader face are more likely to be considered aggressive, but also more attractive for short-term relationships.
