Brunswik, E. (1939). Perceptual characteristics of schematized human figures.
Psychological
Bulletin, 36, 553.
Abstract: Twelve variations of a graphic, crudely schematized
human figure, about half of them involving changes of facial appearance
besides those of stature were presented to 58 students using the method
of paired comparison. Among the six apparent characteristics tested, greatest
agreement among the subjects was found for "good-lookingness," followed
in declining order by "age," "energy", "likeability", "happiness", "intelligence."
In approximately the same order there is an increase in the relative influence
of the face, although even for the last two of these qualities, apparent
happiness and apparent intelligence, significant differences can be found
for pairs differing only in stature and not in facial proportion. Besides
the general tendency to perceive as more intelligent the standard medium
figure, men seem to rate athletic more intelligent than leptosomatic figures
with little emphasis on height, women are more intelligent than short figures
with little emphasis on breadth. For such qualities as happy, good-looking,
and energetic, however, women seem to be favorably impressed also by breadth.
An example of the tendency toward ambivalent effects is shown by the addition
of spectacles to the standard face which increases apparent intelligence
and decreases good-lookingness of the figure. (15 min. slides)

to corresponding size measurements. Psychological Bulletin, 37,
585-586.
Abstract: A subject was asked to give intuitive as well as critical
estimates -- each in different attitudes -- of the extension of an object
most conspicuous to him at the moment. The conditions included indoor and
outdoor situations representative of the activities pursued during a normal
day. The material comprises a total of 180 of such situations. Objective
measurements of the objects as well as of their distances from the eye
were also obtained, showing approximately normal distributions. Almost
perfect correlations between measured and estimated sizes were found, indicating
the presence of perceptual size-constancy in an unbiased sample of "natural"
test situations.
Brunswik, E. (1941). Perceptual size-constancy in life situations. Psychological
Bulletin, 38, 611-612.
Abstract: A sample of 93 frontal objects of various sizes and
distances representative of perceptial situations in everday life was secured
by obtaining from a subject, at irregular intervals during normal activities,
reports of the incidental perceptual contents. Immedidate perceptual estimates
(as well as critical ones) of object-size (distal stimulus), visual angle
(proximal, "retinals," stimulus), and of distance were given by both subject
and experimenter. The latter also secured the corresponding objective measures.
The sizes range from a few mm. to more that 100 m. and show a normal distribution
when plotted logarithmically, and the distances range from 25 cm, to about
1500 m.
Perceptual estimates show, on the whole, much better agreement with
the corresponding stimulus variable when this variable is distan object-size
(indicating good perceptual size-constancy), or when it is distance, than
when it is proximal size (supporting evidence against the "constancy-hypothesis").
Various correlations computed between the estimates and the environmental
variables after elimination of the environmental correlation between object-size
and retinal size are between .95 and 1.00 in the case of object-size and
of distance, and between 0 and .7 when retinal size is involved, with good
agreement between the coefficients representing the perceptual achievements
of the two observers. Averages of errors follow a similar pattern.
The generality of further findings of laboratory experimentation, such
as the comparative overestimation of near objects (perceptual compremise
between distal and proximal size), and the improvement of estimates by
shifting from the purely perceptual to the critically controlled attitudes
was also demonstrated by our random sample of size estimates. There also
is some indication of the relative independence of the distance functionally
"taken into consideration" in the establishment of size-constancy, and
the explicat ("conscious") estimates of distance.
Overestimation of vertical as contrasted to horizontal extensions was
not borne out by our data. (15 min., slides.)

Brunswik, E. (1945). Social perception of traits from photographs. Psychological
Bulletin, 42, 535-536.
Abstract: Psychology classes totalling 95 subjects judged standardized
photographs of 46 Army STP students (IQ approximately 90 to 140) unknown
to them. Correlating "real" traits (mutual ASTP ratings, for intelligence
also tests) with corresponding average intuitive estimates shows social
perceptual validity ("achievement") to be negligible for intelligence (under
.10), statistically significant for personality traits such as energy and
likeability (about 35). Goodlookingness yields .65. Halos among judgments
are strong, and unrealistic considering low corresponding real-trait relationships
(added in parenthesis): intelligence with energy, 84 (.28) with likeability,
.62 (.01); with goodlookingness, .59 (.05) Among possible cues, height
(stature) correlates .25 with intuited intelligence; if confirmed, this
possibly indicates utilization of low but established height IQ relationship
of about .15 also found here. Among facial features, forehead-height shows
only .18 (compare with popular prejudice!) versus .22, nose-height .20
versus .13.
