Abstract

We studied the adequacy of the assessment of personal characteristics in the perception of people of different races (Caucasoid and Mongoloid) in situations of individual and joint decision making. The study involved two samples of subjects, residents of Moscow and Kyzyl (Republic of Tyva). The adequacy of assessing the personal characteristics of the sitters was analyzed using the values received from the scales of the “Personal Differential” questionnaire. The grouping variables were the region of residence of study participants and the morphological type of the face of the sitter. It is shown that the adequacy of assessing personality based on face perception is selective, and the possibility of discussing one’s own impressions with a partner can be both a resource and a hindrance to the adequacy of judgments about a personality based on a facial image.
