New in @PsychScience led by @dongwon_oh: Across 42 countries, we show that how people form impressions of faces is not universal but varies across culture. This seems to arise due to cultural differences in actual personality, which people pick up on. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…

My late advisor, Joseph Polchinski, leaves us his memories of being a husband, father, and a grandmaster of a theoretical physicist. A gift for those curious about the life of a successful scientist. Wisdom-dense for the novice (or veteran) physicists. It was a joy to edit.
Replying to @mitpress
In Memories of a Theoretical Physicist, edited by @AlmheiriAE, groundbreaking theoretical physicist #JosephPolchinski traces his career, reflecting on the successes and failures, triumphs and insecurities of a life cut short by cancer. mitpress.mit.edu/books/memor…

Across 3 studies, we show that perceivers associate facial features with traits (e.g., extroverted) and then form judgments of perceptually ambiguous social categories (e.g., alcoholics) via learned stereotype associations with those traits (e.g., alcoholics = extroverted).
