Abstract

The article presents the results of the research devoted to the study of estimate of the age and individual psychological characteristics by a person's facial expression in different periods of his life. It is shown that age of the perceived subject has a significant effect on the perception of psychological characteristics in the assessment of a large part of the personality of an individual by the expression of his face. The structure and significance of actualized mechanisms of interpersonal perception change depending on the age of perceived people.
