ImpactModerate impact

Abstract in brief

Clothing cues indicating economic status can influence how competent a face appears, even if these cues are not explicitly recognized or intended.
The study found that faces wearing "richer" clothes are rated as more competent than the same faces in "poorer" attire, and this effect occurs quickly and persists despite instructions to ignore clothing.
These findings highlight how subtle social signals like clothing can unfairly impact perceptions of competence, adding challenges for low-status individuals in gaining social and professional success.]

Subtle economic status cues from clothes affect perceived competence from faces even when perceivers are warned such cues are non-informative or instructed to ignore them. This bias puts low-income individuals at a disadvantage. https://t.co/HmBRzlAsv2 https://t.co/rBfOkqqso1 https://t.co/IBFnPwdFm3
