READING FACES
An old proverb says: “You can’t judge a book by its cover.” This means that you you can’t tell what people are like just by looking at them But most people feel they can learn some things from someone’s face If nothing else, they try to read people’s faces to tell how they are feeling at the given moment
Consider the smile It is one of the most easily regconizable human facial expressions We can see a smile on someone’s face hundreds of feet away But there is a subtle difference between a genuine smile and
2
Trang 3a false one For example, when two odl friends meet, they smile with their eyes as well as their lips The muscles of the face contract and pull the lips up while the muscles around the eyes wrinkle the skin around the corners of the eyes On the other hand, when a clerk in a grocery store smiles politely, the lips move but the smile doesn’t necessarily reach their eyes
We may be able to reach common emotions like joys, sadness, and anger from facial expression, but that’s not all Research suggests that we also tend to judge chararters based on their faces In her book Reading Faces, Professor Leslie Zebrowitz documents her research showing that baby faced adults ( people big eyes and round cheeks) makes the rest of us feel protective as we do towards children In one study of cases in a Boston courtroom, Leslie Zebrowitz found that people with “baby-faced” were more likely to be successful than people with mature-looking faces
