Deciding whether an unfamiliar person is trustworthy is one of the most important decisions
in social environments. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to show that the …

Judgments of trustworthiness from faces determine basic approach/avoidance responses
and approximate the valence evaluation of faces that runs across multiple person …

Previous neuroimaging research has shown amygdala sensitivity to the perceived
trustworthiness of neutral faces, with greater responses to untrustworthy compared with …

Successful social interaction partly depends on appraisal of others from their facial
appearance. A critical aspect of this appraisal relates to whether we consider others to be …

Decisions about whether to trust someone can be influenced by competing sources of
information, such as analysis of facial features versus remembering specific information …

Computer-generated faces are increasingly prevalent in a range of settings. While the
quality of synthetic face appearance has increased dramatically, participants can usually …

Previous research shows that the amygdala automatically responds to a face's
trustworthiness when a face is clearly visible. However, it is unclear whether the amygdala …

People routinely make various trait judgments from facial appearance, and such judgments
affect important social outcomes. These judgments are highly correlated with each other …

Behavioral and neuroimaging studies suggest that the attribution of trustworthiness to faces
relies on emotional and structural cues. Attributions happen spontaneously and very rapidly …

Perceivers' inferences about individuals based on their faces often show high interrater
consensus and can even accurately predict behavior in some domains. Here we …
