Always enjoy a happy life, It will lead to your success in life.
A study has shown we can instinctively assess someone’s social status — just from the lines etched into their features.
Psychologists at the University of Toronto have been studying the reality of first impressions.
People were shown photos of faces in an emotionally ‘neutral’ mode — neither smiling for frowning.
At first glance, people proved reliably able to tell if someone was richer or poorer than themselves.
And that has implications on your chances of getting a job, the Journal of personality and social psychology report says.
“Over time, your face comes to permanently reflect and reveal your experiences,” says Associate Professor Nicholas Rule. “Even when we think we’re not expressing something, relics of those emotions are still there.”
But the study also found such ‘gut instinct’ social assessments were only possible when people held a neutral face.
When smiling, or expressing any emotion, the facial cues become lost.
So what’s going on?
