The Influence of Facial Traits with Different Scenarios in Helping Intention
Abstract
Individuals' helping behaviors have been found in research to be affected by facial traits. The experiment started from the four facial traits, using a one-group post-test design, and examined the intention of seventy students to help with different facial traits under two help scenarios. The results show that facial traits significantly affect the individual's helping intention, and extrovert facial traits show the highest significance. Facial traits interact with the helping situation and affect the individual's will to help. The experiment also implicates that if an individual looks more enthusiastic and outgoing in social life, the chance of getting help is higher. People are more inclined to help others in a no- scenario.
