Two very similar-looking faces who would be rated almost the same here yet be treated completely differently by women and people in general.
The face on the left is one most people would rate as untrustworthy; the face on the right is one most would say is trustworthy.
The first study presented data on an imaginary company to 609 people recruited through an online portal … They were asked to evaluate a decision made by the CEO to cut pay by 15 per cent for all staff (including the CEO himself) in order to avoid cut-backs in tough economic times. Participants felt more trust towards the CEO and judged the decision as fairer when the CEO’s biography included a facial photo previously rated as highly trustworthy rather than an untrustworthy one.
In the lead-up to this evaluation, participants were asked if there were other solutions to the financial crisis, and if so, if they could have been fairer. When they thought the CEO had a trustworthy face, they were less likely to believe there were fairer alternatives he could have taken. In both this and a subsequent replication, this doubt in viable alternative options mediated how strongly the photo drove trust in the CEO’s behaviour.
