EvaluaTiNg faCES ON TruSTwOrThiNESS afTEr miNimal TimE ExpOSurE (2009, background): “As mentioned in the introduction, functional neuroimaging studies show that untrustworthy-looking faces evoke a stronger amygdala response than trustworthy-looking faces (Engell et al., 2007; Todorov et al., 2008; Winston et al., 2002).”
Elected in 100 milliseconds: Appearance-Based Trait Inferences and Voting (2010, background): “One possibility consistent with the existing empirical evidence is that such inferences are based on cues that have adaptive significance ( Todorov et al. 2008; Zebrowitz 2004; Zebrowitz and Montepare 2006, 2008).”
The dynamics of warmth and competence judgments, and their outcomes in organizations (2011, background): “…and ability to harm, respectively, Todorov and colleagues theorize that the centrality of these two dimensions in STIs reflects an ―overgeneralization of adaptive mechanisms for inferring harmful intentions and ability to cause harm‖ (Todorov, 2008; Todorov et al., 2008; Oosterhof & Todorov, 2008).”
Distributed Neural Systems for Face Perception (2011, background): “Todorov and colleagues, however, have shown that these inferences appear to be based on subtle variations that suggest facial expressions, such as anger and happiness (Todorov et al., 2008 ; see Todorov et al., Chapter 32, this volume).”
Why and how to use virtual reality to study human social interaction: The challenges of exploring a new research landscape (2018, background): “In contrast, studies of social perception commonly use computer-generated characters (e.g., Jack & Schyns, 2015; Todorov et al., 2008) but donot allowparticipants to have any interactionwith the figures they see (Figure 2H).”
