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).”
Disgust as a disease-avoidance mechanism. (2009, background): “Similarly, morphological anomalies may be construed as symptomatic of infection and can therefore activate disgust (Kurzban & Leary, 2001; Zebrowitz & Montepare, 2006).”
First Impressions From Faces Among U.S. and Culturally Isolated Tsimane’ People in the Bolivian Rainforest (2012, result): “We also found that agreement was sometimes moderated by perceiver and face culture, consistent with the suggestion that perceptual experiences can foster differences in attunements to particular facial cues (McArthur & Baron, 1983; Zebrowitz & Montepare, 2006).”
The Evolution of Cognitive Bias (2015, background): “Individuals with noninfectious morphological anomalies, such as prominent birth marks, activate avoidant responses (Zebrowitz & Montepare, 2006).”
The Behavioral Immune System: Implications for Social Cognition, Social Interaction, and Social Influence (2016, background): “…bilateral symmetry and prototypicality—that may correlate with health status; consequently, the subjective appraisal of facial attractiveness may itself serve as a cue indicating whether a person does or does not pose an infection risk (Weeden & Sabini, 2005; Zebrowitz & Montepare, 2006).”
Political Ideology at Face Value (2010, background): “Without doubt, accurate person perception is highly functional for social interaction and for the individuals’ goal attainment (for reviews, see Schaller, 2008; Zebrowitz & Montepare, 2006).”
Social Psychological Face Perception: Why Appearance Matters. (2008, unknown): “On the other hand, ecological theory intersects with evolutionary psychology theories (Zebrowitz & Montepare, 2006), and it has much in common with a long line of research on nonverbal communication that is also concerned with reactions to facial cues (DePaulo & Friedman, 1998).”
The Social Constitution of Perceiver-Environment Reciprocity (2007, background): “And indeed, there is a substantial literature concerning such topics as perception of faces (Alley, 1990; Berry & Wero, 1993), of gender through gait (Cutting & Kozlowski, 1977; Runeson & Frykholm, 1983), of body size (Snyder, 2003), of social causality (Berry, Misovich, Kean, & Baron, 1992) and of…”
Danger, Disease, and the Nature of Prejudice(s) (2012, background): “Therefore, like other evolved biases in person perception (e.g., Zebrowitz & Montepare, 2006), the psychology of threat detection is characterized by a tendency toward overgeneralization: Many people who pose no threat whatsoever are implicitly assumed (on the basis of superficial features alone)…”
