The present research examined if the impact of a babyface on trait impressions documented in previous research holds true for moving faces. It also assessed the relative impact of a babyface and a childlike voice on impressions of talking faces. To achieve these goals, male and female targets' traits as weil as their facial and vocal characteristics were rated in one of four information conditions: Static Face, Moving Face, Voice Only, or Talking Face. Faciat structure measurements were also made by two independent judges. Data for male faces supported the experimental hypotheses. Specifically, regression analyses revealed that although a babyish facial structure created the impression of weakness even when a target moved his face, this effect was diminished when he also talked. Here a childlike voice and dynamic babyishness, as assessed by moving face ratings, wem more important predictors. Similarly, a babyish facial structure had less impact on impressions of a talking target's warmth than did dynamic babyishness or other facial movement. A childlike voice had no impact on impressions of warmth when facial information was availab[e. Researchers in nonverbal person perception have Iong recognized that perceptions of peop[e's traits are strongly tied to their physical attributes. However, there have been few successful attempts at identifying what specif ic attributes create part icular trait impressions and why they do so (Knapp, 1980). Recent research concerning the effects of facia[ babyishness has begun to address these questions. More specifically, it has demonstrated that adu[ts with facial structures that ethologists identify as babyish are perceived to have more chi ld l ike psychologica[ traits than those This research was supported by a NIMH Grant #BSR 5 R01 MH42684 to the first author. The authors would like to thank Linda Linn for her assistance in preparing the stimulus materials and Danylle Rudin for her help in collecting the data. Thanks are also extended to David M. Buss for his suggestions about alternative explanations which may help guide future work.
