(2017): Faced with exclusion. Perceived facial warmth and competence influence moral judgments of social exclusion. In: Journal of Experimental Social Psychology 68, S. 101-112. DOI: 10.1016/j.jesp.2016.06.005
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jesp.2016.06.005 Abstract: Examined how moral judgments about social exclusion may be influenced by a person's facial appearance. In Study 1, 160 participants (mean age 34 years) were presented with images of male faces that were manipulated on the dimensions of warmth and competence. 160 participants (mean age 36 years) in Study 2 were also shown faces of the excluding group (i.e., the sources of ostracism). Study 3 (160 participants mean age 33 years) examined the underlying emotions (e.g., pity vs. disgust) evoked by the various faces. Results confirmed that facial appearance is important when making moral judgments about social exclusion and that excluding an individual perceived of as warm and competent is less acceptable than excluding someone who appears cold and incompetent. Findings are discussed in relation to the severe behavioral consequences which may result from these judgments e.g., in bystander intervention situations or instances of public shaming.

(2017): Neural substrates of embodied natural beauty and social endowed beauty. An fMRI study. In: Scientific reports 7 (1). DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-07608-8
DOI: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28769082 Abstract: What are the neural mechanisms underlying beauty based on objective parameters and beauty based on subjective social construction? This study scanned participants with fMRI while they performed aesthetic judgments on concrete pictographs and abstract oracle bone scripts. Behavioral results showed both pictographs and oracle bone scripts were judged to be more beautiful when they referred to beautiful objects and positive social meanings, respectively. Imaging results revealed regions associated with perceptual, cognitive, emotional and reward processing were commonly activated both in beautiful judgments of pictographs and oracle bone scripts. Moreover, stronger activations of orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) and motor-related areas were found in beautiful judgments of pictographs, whereas beautiful judgments of oracle bone scripts were associated with putamen activity, implying stronger aesthetic experience and embodied approaching for beauty were elicited by the pictographs. In contrast, only visual processing areas were activated in the judgments of ugly pictographs and negative oracle bone scripts. Results provide evidence that the sense of beauty is triggered by two processes: one based on the objective parameters of stimuli (embodied natural beauty) and the other based on the subjective social construction (social endowed beauty).
