(ITA - 2016 - 1 FASE) Your Facial Bone Structure Has a Big Influence on How People See You () Selfies, headshots, mug shots 1photos of oneself convey more these days than snapshots ever did back in the Kodak era. 2Most digitally minded people continually post and update pictures of themselves at professional, social media and dating sites such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Match.com and Tinder. For better or worse, viewers then tend to make snap judgments about someones personality or character from a single shot. As such, 3it can be a stressful task to select the photo that conveys the best impression of ourselves. 4For those of us seeking to appear friendly and trustworthy to others, a new study underscores an old, chipper piece of advice: Put on a happy face. A newly published series of experiments by cognitive neuroscientists at New York University is reinforcing the relevance of facial expressions to perceptions of characteristics such as trustworthiness and friendliness. 5More importantly, the research also revealed the unexpected finding that perceptions of abilities such as physical strength are not dependent on facial expressions but rather on facial bone structure. The teams first experiment featured photographs of 10 different people presenting five different facial expressions each. Study subjects rated how friendly, trustworthy or strong the person in each photo appeared. A separate group of subjects scored each face on an emotional scale from very angry to very happy. And three experts not involved in either of the previous two ratings to avoid confounding results calculated the facial width-to-height ratio for each face. 6An analysis revealed that participants generally ranked people with a happy expression as friendly and trustworthy but not those with angry expressions. 7Surprisingly, participants did not rank faces as indicative of physical strength based on facial expression but graded faces that were very broad as that of a strong individual. In a second survey facial expression and facial structure were manipulated in computer-generated faces. Participants rated each face for the same traits as in the first survey, with the addition of a rating for warmth. Again, people thought a happy expression, but not an angry one, indicated friendliness, trustworthiness and in this case, warmth. The researchers then showed two additional sets of participants the same faces, this time either with areas relevant to facial expressions obscured or the width cropped. In the first variation, for faces lacking emotional cues, people could no longer perceive personality traits but could still perceive strength based on width. Similarly, for those faces lacking structural cues, people could no longer perceive strength but could still perceive personality traits based on facial expressions. In a third iteration of the survey participants had to pick four faces out of a lineup of eight faces varied for expression and width that they might select either as their financial advisor or as the winner of a power-lifting competition. As might be expected, 8participants picked faces with happier expressions as financial advisors and 9selected broader faces as belonging to power-lifting champs. In a final survey the researchers generated more than 100 variations of one individual base face by varying facial features. Participants saw two faces at a time, and then picked one as either trustworthy or high in ability or as a good financial advisor or power-lifting winner. Using these results, a computer then created an average face for each of these four categories, which were shown to a separate set of participants who had to pick which face appeared either more trustworthy or stronger. Most of the participants found the computer-generated averages to be good representations of trustworthiness or strength 10and generally saw the average financial advisor face as more trustworthy and the powerlifter face as stronger. The findings from all four surveys were published in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin on June 18.

(ITA - 2015 - 1 FASE) THE MAN IN THE CONVERTIBLE One morning, well after I was diagnosed with cancer, I got an email from Robbee Kosak,7Carnegie Mellons vice president for advancement. She told me a story. 22She said she had been driving home from work the night before, and11she found herself behind a man in a convertible.1It was a warm, gorgeous, early-spring evening, and the man had his top down and all his windows lowered. His arm was hanging over8the drivers side door, and his fingers were tapping along to the music on his radio. His head was bobbing along, too,13as the wind blew through his hair. Robbee changed lanes and pulled a little closer. From the side, she could see that the man had a slight smile on his face, the kind of16absentminded smile a person might have when hes all alone, happy in his own thoughts.12Robbee found herself thinking: Wow, this is the epitome of a person appreciating this day and this moment. The convertible18eventually turned the corner, and thats when Robbee got a look at9the mans full face. Oh my God, she said to herself. Its Randy Pausch! 2She was so struck by the sight of me. She knew that my cancer diagnosis was grim. And yet,14as she wrote in her email,3she was moved by how contented I seemed. In this private moment,4I was19obviously in high spirits. Robbee wrote in her email: You can never know how much that glimpse of you made my day, reminding me of what life is all about. I read10Robbees email several times. I came to look at it15as a feedback loop of sorts. It has not always been easy to stay positive through my cancer treatment. When you have a dire medical issue, its tough to know how youre20really faring emotionally. I had wondered whether a part of me was acting when I was with other people. Maybe at times I forced myself to appear strong and upbeat. Many cancer patients feel obliged to put up a brave front. Was I doing that, too? But Robbee had come upon me in an unguarded moment. Id like to think she saw me as I am.5She21certainly saw me as I was that evening. Her mail was just a paragraph, but it meant a great deal to me.6She had given me a window into myself. I was still fully17engaged. I still knew life was good. I was doing OK. Fonte: PAUSCH, R. The last lecture. New York, Hyperion, 2008. p. 64 - 65. O autor do texto

(ITA - 2015 - 1 FASE) THE World Cup is still two weeks away, but for children worldwide (plus disturbing numbers of adults) the race to complete the Brazil 2014 sticker book started long ago. Panini, an Italian firm, has produced sticker albums for World Cups since Mexico 1970; this years version has 640 stickers to collect. Collecting them is no idle pursuit, however. Getting every slot filled delivers an early lesson in probability, the value of statistical tests and the importance of liquidity. When you start an album, your first sticker (in Britain, they come in packs of five) has a 640/640 probability of being needed. As the spaces get filled, the odds of opening a pack and finding a sticker you want fall. According to Sylvain Sardy and Yvan Velenik, two mathematicians at the University of Geneva, the number of sticker packs that you would have to buy on average to fill the album by mechanically buying pack after pack would be 899. 1That assumes there is no supply shock to the market (the theft of hundreds of thousands of stickers in Brazil in April left many fearful 2that Panini would run short of cards). It also assumes that the market is not being rigged. 6Panini says that each sticker is printed in the same volumes and randomly distributed. In a 2010 paper Messrs Sardy and Velenik gamely played the role of regulator by checking the distribution of stickers for a 660-sticker album sold in Switzerland for 3that years World Cup. Out of their sample of 6,000 stickers, they expected to see each sticker 9.09 times on average (6,000/660), which was broadly borne out in practice. Even in a fair market, it is inefficient to buy endless packs as an individual (not to mention bloody expensive for the parents). The answer is to create a market for collectors to swap their unwanted stickers. The playground is one version of this market, 4where a child who has a card prized by many suddenly understands the power of limited supply. Sticker fairs are another. As with any market, liquidity counts. The more people who can be attracted into the market with their duplicate cards, the better the chances of finding the sticker you want. Messrs Sardy and Velenik reckon that a group of ten astute sticker-swappers would need a mere 1,435 packs between them to complete all ten albums, if they take advantage of Paninis practice of selling the final 50 missing stickers to order. Internet forums, where potentially unlimited numbers of people can swap stickers, make this number fall even further. The idea of a totally efficient market should dismay Panini, 5which will sell fewer packs as a result. But as in all markets, behaviour is not strictly rational. Despite entreaties, your correspondents son is prepared to tear out most of his stickers to get hold of Lionel Messi.
