Face Value: The Irresistible Influence of First Impressions

The Scientific story of first impressions―and why the snap character judgments we make from faces are irresistible but usually incorrect

After seeing the faces of others, we make our own decisions about them. of a second―and these snap judgments predict all kinds of important decisions. Politicians who appear more competent are more likely win elections. However, the character judgements we make about people from their faces are just as flawed as they are irresistible. In most cases, we would be able to guess more accurately if faces were not present. These widely shared impressions are why we place so much value on them. They are unreliable. What purpose do they serve? Alexander Todorov is the author of this book. of The world’s most respected researcher on the subject answers these questions while he tells his story of Modern science of First impressions.

This accessible, richly illustrated book, which draws on psychology, cognition science, neuroscience, and computer science, explains cutting-edge research in a context that is both familiar and unfamiliar. of The history of The ability to discern personality from faces. Todorov describes the process by which we have developed the ability to detect basic social signals and momentary emotions from faces using a network of The processing brain regions of faces.

Review

“Honorable Mention for the 2018 PROSE Award in Psychology, Association of American Publishers”

“A mesmerising book.”—Carol Midgley, The Times

“Hugely entertaining.”—Kate Douglas, New Scientist

“Face Value raises a compelling and unresolved issue: First impressions are reasonably consistent, meaning that people largely agree on which faces they judge trustworthy or threatening or dominant. Yet these judgements may be far from accurate, leading to great social injustice in myriad daily interactions. . . . Todorov’s book excels in explaining how he and other researchers have figured out many of the subtle cues that the mind uses in constructing [these impressions].”—Nicholas Wade, Wall Street Journal

“An impressive, well-written, and well-illustrated book. . . . Stimulating and enjoyable.”—John Antonakis, Science

“First impressions and snap judgements are not trivial: they can overturn elections and make or break careers. Drawing on cognitive and computer science, this weighty, well-illustrated study by psychologist Alexander Todorov journeys under the skin to reveal how ‘face-reading’–as in the old pseudoscience of physiognomy–has given way to a scientific understanding of perceptual bias vis-à-vis the visage. Todorov unpeels the responses of newborns to ‘faceness’, the hunt for face-selective neurons, the chameleonic self-portraiture of artist Cindy Sherman and more.”—Barbara Kiser, Nature

From the Back Cover

“Faces are what newborns naturally seek. They are the objects of our love, trust, fear, longing, and memory. They inspire poetry and the visual arts. We rely on faces to reveal mood and character, allowing them to influence hiring decisions, criminal convictions, and elections. In this magisterial work, Todorov takes us on a tour of the face, its role in human affairs, and its power to influence and mislead. You’ll always look at faces, but never the same way again.”–Eldar Shafir, coauthor of Scarcity: The New Science of How Having Less Defines Our Lives

“Todorov’s work is fun and somewhat shocking on the surface, but the deeper implication–that much of our decision-making and behavior is unconscious and unknown to us–goes well beyond his findings about the biases we bring to evaluating the faces of other people. Face Value shows that as much as we think of ourselves as rational creatures in control of what we do we are just as often influenced by eyebrows and chins. Terrifying and enjoyable.”–David Byrne, founder of Talking Heads and Author of How music works

“Face Value is an excellent book, with many surprising insights and many compelling illustrations that offer a complex aesthetic experience.”–Daniel Kahneman, winner of The Nobel Prize in Economics and Author of Thinking Fast and Slow

“From one of the world’s great experts on the human face, this is a book that illuminates the eternal belief that the face holds the secrets to a person’s character. Todorov is a brilliant teacher of the history of this great myth, as he patiently unveils for us the rich and fascinating science of the psychology of face perception. I am humbler for having read this book, with a truer understanding of the mind of my species.”–Mahzarin R. Banaji, coauthor of Blindspot: The Hidden Biases of Good People

“Face Value is an impressive, engaging, and enjoyable survey of the fascinating scientific research on our perception of faces, from a key contributor to the work. It should appeal to scientists as well as general readers.”–Pawan Singhha, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

“Alexander Todorov is one of the top researchers in the world on the social cognition of faces. In Face Value, he brings together a huge body of research on the subject, puts it into historical perspective, and tells many fascinating anecdotes.”–Lisa DeBruine University of Glasgow
