The Impacts of the Characteristics of the Facial Factor on the Image of Self and Others

The purpose of the study is to research which facial parts are considered to influence on people’s perception of self and others’ image, and the reasons behind. The research was conducted through the questionnaire, targeting 492 male/female university students. The facial image has been categorized into 4 groups–modern, gentle, elegant and active. ‘Gentle’ image is reflected in Face 1–a round face that has big eyes with double eye lid, and small, thick lips ‘Modern’ image is reflected in Face 2–a diamond face with peaked eyes and big, thick lips, Face 3–an oval face with double eye lids and normal sized thick lips-is perceived as “Gentle” image. Face 4–a long face with single eye lid and big, thick lips–is perceived as ‘active’ image, Face 5 is perceived as having an “active” image, since it is a rectangle shaped face with double eye lids as well as big, thick, and peaked lips. When perceiving others’ faces, we have found that people commonly consider following facial factors–shape, eyes, and lips. And it is our conclusion that the unique characteristics of different facial parts are significant factors to influence how we perceive the image of self and others
