“Unlocking the Secrets of Your Genes: What Your Physical Traits Really Say About You!”
However, this perception has changed throughout the generations. In the textbook Asian American Psychology: Current Perspectives, psychologists explain that eyes sloping downward at the outer corners were perceived as a beauty ideal in nineteenth-century Japan.
Larger Noses Show More Ambition
In 2013, a study about the associations of nose shape was published in the Journal of Craniofacial Surgery. When researchers surveyed participants, the answers associated larger noses with higher ambition. It’s unclear where this subconscious relationship came from.
Perhaps this association stems from “following your nose,” the idea that animals will plunge headfirst into something that smells good. Even personality articles in Cosmopolitan relate large noses to drive and independence. More studies need to be done on physiological perceptions of peoples’ noses.
Extroverts Smile Wider
In 2009, researchers wanted to see if people could guess whether someone was an introvert or extrovert after seeing someone’s face for 50 milliseconds. When participants viewed photos of people smiling widely, they were more likely to label them as an extrovert. Gentler, shier smiles were often associated with introverts.
The wider smile could stem from people feeling happier. According to research in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, acting like an extrovert makes people feel happier. Even introverts feel happier while acting like an extrovert for a while.
