Course Title:
Face Perception
Course Number:
PSY00009H
Course Description:
How do people perceive your face? In fact, decisions are made about our faces all the time. People can identify who we are (not only our friends and family, but also people who don’t know us, for example in photo-ID). We can also be perceived as members of social groups, being variously attractive, experiencing particular emotions, having certain personalities and so forth. While some aspects of our faces can carry verifiable signals (e.g. health status) others seem to be based in social conventions. Furthermore, when face perception goes wrong, there can be catastrophic consequences – for example in cases where eyewitness testimony convicts innocent people.
