I am happy to share that I have completed my PhD. I am so grateful to my fantastic supervisors, examiners, and the wonderful community at @abdnpsych for making this journey over the past three years of my PhD so enriching!✨
Many congratulations to Dr Fiammetta Marini who passed her viva with a thesis titled "First impressions of trustworthiness through space and time" supervised by Dr @MauroManassi, 2nd supervisor Dr Clare Sutherland, and examined by Dr Christopher Benton and Dr Rama Chakravarthi ⭐

Does past visual experience influence facial first impressions? Our new research with C Sutherland, L Jeffery, S Maisey, @MauroManassi shows that trustworthiness impressions are influenced by previously seen faces, even by emotional expressions. tinyurl.com/bdh3mcf4 🧵1/8

Taken together, our findings confirm that (1) temporal context shapes trustworthiness impressions, by showing that visual adaptation affects trust judgements, and that (2) past emotional expressions influence following impressions of trustworthiness and dominance. 7/8

We found that prolonged exposure to (un)trustworthy faces biases the impression of subsequent faces away from the past (so new faces look more (un)trustworthy). Building on previous evidence, this result confirms a robust face aftereffect for trustworthiness impressions. 3/8

Importantly, using anti-expressions (stimuli designed to bias neutral faces toward the original expression and minimise semantic adaptation), suggest a common perceptual mechanism in the visual representation of emotional expressions and facial trait evaluations. 5/8

The past week at #ECVP2024 was great! So much interesting science and great people met. I shared our work on serial temporal biases in facial trustworthiness impressions and presented illusion demos on serial effects in vision at the Illusion Night.
