Abstract
Gaze cues have powerful effects on person perception, influencing face recognition, sex-categorization, emotion perception, and attraction. We demonstrate that sexually dimorphic shape cues in opposite-sex, but not own-sex, faces influence gaze-categorization. Since exaggerated sex-typical facial cues are associated with indices of long-term health, our findings suggest that gaze processing mechanisms are sensitive to global configural cues to the quality of potential mates.
