Introduction
. The systematization of perceived age studies has revealed a
disproportion
in the following: (a) factors of perceived age (characteristics of the object of perception
are well studied, while little attention has been devoted to characteristics of the subject
of perception); (b) components of physical appearance (considerable attention has
been paid to the influence of the static component of physical appearance on the
person’s perceived age, while few data are available on the dynamic component).
The present study reveals the influence of the dynamic component of physical
appearance on the perceived age of the object of perception and also the perceiving
subject’s socio-psychological characteristics as factors for Another’s age perception.
Materials and Methods
. The objects of age perception (models) comprised
7 persons aged 21–23 years and one person aged 45 years. The photos and videos
of the models’ spontaneous dancing were used. The study involved 108 subjects of
perception (aged 14–78 years). The study employed (a) V. A. Labunskaya’s technique
for the Evaluation/Content Interpretation of Appearance and Its Correspondence
with Gender/Age Constructs, (b) V. Schutz Interpersonal Relations Questionnaire,
and (c) the Demographic Questionnaire.
Results
. The dynamic component of a person’s physical appearance influences
his/her perceived age. Thus, the observers perceive them as being younger than in
the photos. If age visual presentations were contradictory, the observer relied on
the static component of physical appearance. The study draws a conclusion that
the perceiving subject’s relation to his/her own physical appearance influences the
perceived age of the object of perception.
Discussion
. The present study con firms the leading role of the static component
of physical appearance in perceiving the person’s age, which is noted in numerous
studies. The perceiving subject’s psychological characteristics (relation to his/her
own physical appearance) determine another person’s perceived age. The study
findings expand the knowledge of the complex and multifactorial determination of
the process of constructing another person’s age.
