TLDR
It is shown that inferences of competence based solely on facial appearance predicted the outcomes of U.S. congressional elections better than chance and were linearly related to the margin of victory.Abstract:
We show that inferences of competence based solely on facial appearance predicted the outcomes of U.S. congressional elections better than chance (e.g., 68.8% of the Senate races in 2004) and also were linearly related to the margin of victory. These inferences were specific to competence and occurred within a 1-second exposure to the faces of the candidates. The findings suggest that rapid, unreflective trait inferences can contribute to voting choices, which are widely assumed to be based primarily on rational and deliberative considerations.read more

First Impressions Making Up Your Mind After a 100-Ms Exposure to a Face

TL;DR: For all judgments—attractiveness, likeability, trustworthiness, competence, and aggressiveness—increased exposure time did not significantly increase the correlations, suggesting that additional time may simply boost confidence in judgments.

Warmth and Competence As Universal Dimensions of Social Perception: The Stereotype Content Model and the BIAS Map
TL;DR: The stereotype content model (SCM) as mentioned in this paper defines two fundamental dimensions of social perception, warmth and competence, predicted respectively by perceived competition and status, which generate distinct emotions of admiration, contempt, envy, and pity.

8 Social Hierarchy: The Self‐Reinforcing Nature of Power and Status
Joe C. Magee,Adam D. Galinsky +1 more
TL;DR: The authors argue that status and power are two important yet distinct bases of hierarchical differentiation, and that status, related to the respect one has in the eyes of others, generates expectations for behavior and opportunities for advancement that favor those with a prior status advantage.

A very brief measure of the Big-Five personality domains
TL;DR: In this paper, a 10-item measure of the Big-Five personality dimensions is proposed for situations where very short measures are needed, personality is not the primary topic of interest, or researchers can tolerate the somewhat diminished psychometric properties associated with very brief measures.

The Nature and Origins of Mass Opinion
TL;DR: Zaller as discussed by the authors developed a comprehensive theory to explain how people acquire political information from elites and the mass media and convert it into political preferences, and applied this theory to the dynamics of public opinion on a broad range of subjects, including domestic and foreign policy, trust in government, racial equality, and presidential approval, as well as voting behaviour in U.S. House, Senate and presidential elections.

A perspective on judgment and choice: Mapping bounded rationality.
TL;DR: Determinants and consequences of accessibility help explain the central results of prospect theory, framing effects, the heuristic process of attribute substitution, and the characteristic biases that result from the substitution of nonextensional for extensional attributes.

The distributed human neural system for face perception.
TL;DR: A model for the organization of this system that emphasizes a distinction between the representation of invariant and changeable aspects of faces is proposed and is hierarchical insofar as it is divided into a core system and an extended system.
