| Research Abstract |
The present study aimed to investigate two aspects of face recognition : the characteristics of attractiveness perception of expressive faces, and the effects of the dynamic change from emotional face to neutral face. In considering these aspects, the alterations of higher-order impression or psychological meaning produced by a variation in facial geometry were defined first. As a result of the investigation by a combination of experimental-psychological approach and multivariate psychometric method, it was showed that the key impression factors related to the attractiveness evaluation were different for different types of expressive forms, and that the final neutral face, which changed from expressive face, was perceived as opposite to the affective impression of the contextual facial expression in the specific emotional dimensions.
