Abstract

Trait inferences from faces are pervasive, but sometimes misleading. Past research indicates Americans infer hunting and gathering ability from others' faces, but the accuracy of these perceptions remains unknown. In three studies, we test whether Americans can accurately perceive foraging ability from faces. We used three datasets from two traditional subsistence societies (the Hadza and the Tsimane) in which individuals were photographed and evaluated by their peers on their ability to hunt or gather effectively (N = 175). US MTurkers (N = 579) then evaluated the photos for foraging ability. We found that MTurkers' perceptions of men consistently tracked peer-evaluated hunting ability (overall r = 0.25), suggesting that naïve perceptions of men's productivity from a face photo alone reflect actual hunting ability. MTurkers' perceptions of women's productivity inversely correlated with their peer-evaluated gathering ability, however. We discuss potential mechanisms and implications for research on social perception.

美国成年人通过一张脸部照片准确评估哈扎人和齐马内人的狩猎能力
从面孔推断特质是一种普遍现象,但有时会产生误导。过去的研究表明,美国人可以从他人的面孔中推断出狩猎和采集能力,但这些推断的准确性仍然不得而知。在三项研究中,我们测试了美国人是否能从面孔中准确感知觅食能力。我们使用了来自两个传统自给自足社会(哈德扎人和齐马内人)的三个数据集,在这三个数据集中,个体被拍照并由同伴评价其有效狩猎或采集的能力(N = 175)。然后,美国 MTurkers(N = 579)对这些照片的觅食能力进行评估。我们发现, MTurkers 对男性的感知始终与同伴评价的狩猎能力相一致(总体 r = 0.25),这表明仅从脸部照片对男性生产力的天真感知反映了实际的狩猎能力。然而,MTurkers 对女性生产力的看法与其同伴评价的采集能力成反比。我们讨论了社会认知研究的潜在机制和意义。

期刊介绍: Evolution and Human Behavior is an interdisciplinary journal, presenting research reports and theory in which evolutionary perspectives are brought to bear on the study of human behavior. It is primarily a scientific journal, but submissions from scholars in the humanities are also encouraged. Papers reporting on theoretical and empirical work on other species will be welcome if their relevance to the human animal is apparent.
