With the use of expert evidence increasing in civil and criminal trials, there is concern jurors' decisions are affected by factors that are irrelevant to the quality of the expert opinion. Past research suggests that the likeability of an expert significantly affects juror attributions of credibility and merit.…

Likeability represents one of the aspects of social status in a peer group and refers to the extent to which one is accepted, preferred by others, and perceived as a likeable companion. Previous research has demonstrated that likeability is partly determined by dispositional factors. One body of research shows that…

Homophily, the tendency for individuals to associate with those who are most similar to them, has been well documented. However, the influence of different kinds of similarity (e.g. relating to age, music taste, ethical views) in initial preferences for a stranger have not been compared. In the current study, we test…

This research focuses on the antecedents of family supportive supervisor behaviors (FSSB) - the support from supervisors that can help employees manage their competing demands across work and nonwork domains. Drawing on theories of relational identity and self-construal, I conceptualize subordinates’ likeability…

Recent progress in distributed semantic models (DSM) offers new ways to estimate personality traits of both fictive and real people. In this exploratory study we applied an extended version of the algorithm developed in Jacobs (2019) to compute the likeability scores, emotional figure profiles and BIG5 personality…

Although previous research has explored the effects of discussion on optimal and collective group outcomes, it is unclear how an individual’s preference for an object is modulated by discussion with others. This study investigated the determinants of likeability ratings under two conditions. In Experiment 1, pairs of…

and a Virtual Human Avatar in Human Perception Authors: ['Bora Tarlan' 'Nisa Erdal'] This study explores human perceptions of intelligent agents by comparing interactions with a humanoid robot and a virtual human avatar, both utilizing GPT-3 for response generation. The study aims to understand how physical and virtual…

'Armando Rodríguez-Pérez' 'Chuanjun Liu'] People often perceive their moral judgments as objective and unbiased, yet research indicates that positive interpersonal attitudes lead to more lenient moral character assessments. Here we investigate how likeability towards moral transgressors and the different moral…

Socially anxious individuals (SAs) not only fear social rejection, accumulating studies show that SAs are indeed judged as less likeable after social interaction with others. This study investigates if SAs already make a more negative impression on others in the very first seconds of contact. The study further…

Human beings revel in social approval and social connection. For example, individuals want to be liked, and frequently surround themselves with people who provide such positive reinforcement. Past work highlights a “common currency” between social rewards like social approval, and non-social rewards like money. But…

In our benchmarking of 10-fold cross-validation in 100 repetitions, all feature sets except the likeability ratings yielded a 10-11% improvement in accuracy on the holdout set over the base model. Treating the class imbalance with synthetic minority oversampling (SMOTE) increased holdout set performance by 20-34% but…

Moral judgments are central to guiding social interactions, influencing whom we trust, cooperate with, or avoid. While extensive research has examined the cognitive and affective bases of moral evaluation, less is known about how stable traits – such as political orientation and empathy – shape these judgments and…

'Cynthia Breazeal'] Abstract— Conversational AI agents are proliferating, embodying a range of devices such as smart speakers, smart displays, robots, cars, and more. We can envision a future where a personal conversational agent could migrate across different form factors and environments to always accompany and…

— A solid methodology to understand human perception and preferences in human-robot interaction (HRI) is crucial in designing real-world HRI. Social cognition posits that the dimensions Warmth and Competence are central and universal dimensions characterizing other humans [1]. The Robotic Social Attribute Scale (RoSAS)…

Deciding about courses of action involves minimizing costs and maximizing benefits. Decision neuroscience studies have implicated both the ventral and dorsal medial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC and dmPFC) in signaling goal value and action cost, but the precise functional role of these regions is still a matter of debate.…

Understanding how humans perceive the likability of high-dimensional “objects” such as faces is an important problem in both cognitive science and AI/ML. Existing models of human preferences generally assume these preferences to be fixed. However, human assessment of facial attractiveness have been found to be highly…

Writers from Darwin to Dawkins have noted that, in humans, women are considered the “beautiful sex,” whereas in most species, it is the males who display more elaborate and visually striking traits. This reversal of typical sex roles is a peculiarity of the human species and has been the focus of extensive theoretical…
