We analyzed the relationships between facial impressions and physical features, and investigated the effects of impressions on facial similarity judgments. Using 79 faces extracted from a face database, we collected the ratings of impressions along four dimensions -mild-fierce, bright-dull, feminine-manly and youthful-mature- and the measures of 41 physical features. Multiple Regression Analyses showed that the ratings of impressions and the measures of features are closely connected with each other. Our experiments using facial similarity judgments confirmed the possibility that facial impressions are used in processing of facial information. We found that people tend to perceive faces as similar when they have the same impressions rather than neutral ones, although all of them are alike physically. These results imply that facial impressions are used as a psychological structure representing facial appearance, and that facial processing includes impression information.

This study investigated the relationship between the physical features and personality impression of faces. Subjects were exposed to male and female facial photographic images. Using 7-points scales, subjects were asked to rate 31 personality traits. The three factors extracted from factor analysis were labeled social desirability, activity, and intelligence. The analysis of correlation between physical features and factor scores of faces indicated that there is a significant correlation between features of eye of male faces and intelligence and between features of chin of female faces and intelligence and social desirability. These results suggested that subjects judged the personality impression, based on different physical features in male and female feces.

With an assumption that the view point of a given society and time on facial attractiveness can be inferred by analyzing winners of beauty pageant faces, the trends in the physical measures of miss Koreas were investigated. A classification model of affective facial impressions was used to obtain the physical measures of the faces and classifying them into a face-type category. The number of face images analyzed in the study were 171 winners of Miss Korea Contest. The results show that there has been a shift in the impression from 'mature' to 'babyish' for the Korean beauty-contest winners for the last 50 years.

In this paper, we propose an efficient method to classify human facial impression using frontal face image. The features that represent the shape of eye, jaw and face are used. The proposed method employs PCA, LDA and SVM in series. PCA is used to project the feature space to a low dimensional subspace. LDA produces well separated classes in a low dimensional subspace even under severe variation. This results in good discriminating power for classification. SVM is used to classify the data. Human face has been classified for 8 facial impressions. The experiments have been performed for many face images, and show encouraging result.

With an assumption that the view point of a given society and time on facial attractiveness can be inferred by analyzing popular stars' faces, the cross-cultural differences in the physical measures of Korean and foreign stars were investigated. A classification model of affective facial impressions was used to obtain the physical measures of the faces and classifying them into a face-type category. The number of face images analyzed in the study were 297 in total: 94 Korean stars, and 203 foreign stars. The results show that the common characteristics found in the cross-cultural analyses of Western and Eastern stars was a sharp face.

With an assumption that the view point of a given society and time on facial attractiveness can be inferred by analyzing popular stars' faces, the cross-cultural differences in the physical measures of Korean and foreign stars were investigated. A classification model of affective facial impressions was used to obtain the physical measures of the faces and classifying them into a face-type category. The number of face images analyzed in the study were 629 in total: 258 Korean stars, and 200 foreign stars. The results show that the common characteristics found in the cross-cultural analyses of Western and Eastern stars was a babyish impression. Babyish feature was found distinctive also in western male stars, while such trend was not found in Asian male star.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between facial image efficacy and job satisfaction in a sample of 167 workers in SMEs in Seoul and Gyeonggi province. and to examine the effect of SME workers' face image efficacy on job satisfaction. The results of the study are as follows. First, there was a statistically significant correlation between management ability and job satisfaction, which is a sub - area of facial image efficacy. This means that the higher the management ability, the higher the degree of job satisfaction. There was a statistically significant correlation between perception attitude and job satisfaction, which is a sub - area of face image efficacy. Second, management ability, which is a sub - area of face image efficacy of SME workers, has a statistically significant effect on job satisfaction. The sub - domain of face image efficacy has no effect on job satisfaction, Expression confidence, which is a sub-domain of image efficacy, has a statistically significant effect on job satisfaction.

To investigate the relationship between voice and the image created by the voice, a perception experiment was undertaken in which voices of 8 males and 8 females reading a fairy tale were recorded and presented to 100 subjects along with the speakers' pictures. Two kinds of pictures were taken: one, a whole-body picture, and the other, a face-only close-up picture. Subjects were asked to match each voice with its owner. The results showed that out of 8, more than 4 were matched correctly. And the correct rate was higher when the voices were matched against the whole-body pictures than against the face-only pictures. In addition, it was noted that far more people picked a single voice as the most 'favorite' one than they picked one picture as the most 'favorite' image.
