Terradactyls
Politics of Blank Looks
How we react to faces could be linked to our political affiliations.
Psychologist Jacob M. Vigil of the University of North Florida had 740
college students look at 12 photographs of faces digitally blurred to not
display any clear emotion. The volunteers were then asked if these faces
expressed sadness, joy, disgust, surprise, fear or anger. The students who
identified themselves as Republicans were more likely than those who
identified themselves as Democrats to interpret these vague faces as more threatening, as measured by anger or disgust, and less submissive, as conveyed by fear or surprise.

These findings, which appeared online October 21 in Nature Precedings, are consistent with research linking conservative political views on military spending and capital punishment with heightened reactions to disturbing images and sounds. Vigil conjectures that the political ideologies we advocate could be linked with the way that we respond to ambiguous details. - Sciam
