Impressions from faces are made remarkably quickly and they can underpin behaviour in a wide variety of social contexts. Over the last decade many studies have sought to trace the links between facial cues and social perception and behaviour. One such body of work has shown clear overlap between the fields of face perception and social stereotyping by demonstrating a role for conceptual stereotypes in impression formation from faces. We integrate these results involving conceptual influences on impressions with another substantial body of research in visual cognition which demonstrates that much of the variance in impressions can be predicted from perceptual, data-driven models using physical cues in face images. We relate this discussion to the phylogenetic, cultural, individual and developmental origins of facial impressions and define priority research questions for the field including investigating non-WEIRD cultures, tracking the developmental trajectory of impressions and determining the malleability of impression formation.

了解面孔的特征印象

面部印象的形成速度非常快，它们可以支撑各种社会环境中的行为。在过去十年中，许多研究试图追踪面部线索与社会感知和行为之间的联系。其中一项工作通过展示概念刻板印象在面部印象形成中的作用，显示了面部感知和社会刻板印象领域之间的明显重叠。我们将这些涉及对印象的概念影响的结果与另一项视觉认知研究的实质性研究相结合，这表明印象中的大部分差异可以使用面部图像中的物理线索从感知的、数据驱动的模型中预测出来。我们将此讨论与系统发育、文化、
