Abstract

“I don’t judge people.” You’ve probably heard this expression on more than one occasion. However, the reality is very different. If there’s one thing, we’ve learned from decades of research on biases derived from facial perception, it’s that judgments associated with first impressions are virtually unavoidable. You could say that we are predisposed to judge, even if we don’t always
do it intentionally.
