Resumen
Las mascarillas aumentan las percepciones de confiabilidad y competencia en adultos jóvenes, pero no en adultos mayores. Las señales faciales relacionadas con la edad pueden anular los efectos de las mascarillas en los juicios sociales.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Psicología
- Psicología Social
- Percepción
Sus antecedentes:
- Los rostros humanos son vitales para la comunicación social y los juicios de rasgos.
- Las mascarillas pueden influir en las percepciones de confiabilidad y competencia.
- Las señales faciales relacionadas con la edad influyen en las evaluaciones sociales.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Investigar el impacto de las mascarillas en las percepciones de confiabilidad y competencia.
- Examinar estos efectos en grupos de adultos jóvenes y mayores.
Principales métodos:
- Se realizaron dos estudios, uno con adultos jóvenes (Estudio 1) y otro con adultos mayores (Estudio 2).
- Los participantes evaluaron rostros con y sin mascarillas para evaluar las percepciones de confiabilidad y competencia.
Principales resultados:
- Las mascarillas aumentaron significativamente las percepciones de confiabilidad y competencia en rostros jóvenes.
- No se encontraron efectos significativos de las mascarillas en la confiabilidad o competencia en rostros mayores.
- Las características faciales relacionadas con la edad y los estereotipos parecen influir más en los juicios sociales que la presencia de mascarillas en adultos mayores.
Conclusiones:
- El efecto de las mascarillas en las percepciones sociales como la confiabilidad y la competencia no es uniforme en todos los grupos de edad.
- La edad modera significativamente el impacto de las mascarillas en los juicios sociales, lo que sugiere una interacción compleja entre las señales faciales y los sesgos perceptivos.

Smiling, for example, could enhance one's sense of happiness. This idea laid the foundation for understanding the role...
