They found that appearance tells a lot about your personality.
The researchers included Laura Naumann of Sonoma State University in California, and Simine Vazire of
Washington University in Saint Louis, Missouri. They were joined by Sam Gosling of the University of Texas
at Austin and Peter J. Rentfrow of Britain"s Cambridge University. The results of their study were published in
the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin in December, 2009.
The subjects (接受实验者) were asked to judge the personality of people they had never met. The judges
examined pictures of one hundred twenty-three people. The people in the photographs had been told how to
stand. They looked into the cameras without showing their feelings. The same people also were photographed
the way they themselves wanted to stand. Those who wanted to smile could smile.
Then the judges attempted to decide what the people were like. The researchers compared the judges"
opinions with the way the people who were photographed thought of themselves. Three people who knew
those in the photographs well also provided information about their personality and behavior.
The judges looked for ten qualities in the people in the pictures. The qualities included extroversion (having
a confident character and enjoying the company of other people) and self-esteem (being satisfied with oneself).
The judges also looked for signs of loneliness, conscientiousness (正义), emotional control and religious
and political beliefs.
The researchers said the judges could identify some personalities even when people were pictured in
controlled positions. They could recognize personalities like extroversion and self-esteem. But it was hard for
the judges to decide about most other personalities under the controlled conditions. When the people smiled and
stood naturally, however, judging their personalities was easy. Then the judges" choices were correct for nine
of the ten personalities.

| "How can I learn English well?" This is a question many students ask. In my opinion, the most effective way is to learn lessons by heart. If you can recite the text and write it out, you"ve learned it fairly well. And if you can retell, in your own words, what the lesson is about, you"re a very successful learner indeed. Your English will be quite perfect. This is a difficult task. However, if you try to learn by heart only part of each lesson, you"ll find it not so hard as you might have expected. Learning this way, you will make rapid progress. Of course, writing is also necessary. It helps you a lot on your way to success in English. Equally important is to feel the language. You should be able to laugh at jokes and be shocked at bad news. When using English, try to forget your mother tongue. Instead of helping you, your own language gets in your way. So, never try to see English through translation. | ||||||||||||||||||
