Have you ever had the feeling of that someone looks at you as if you were forgiving your life ? You may have thought that he is an unpleasant person for throwing you such a look, and we often call this expression "bitch face" (in English "Resting Bitch face").
Science confirms that 'Resting Bitch face 'or' Bitch's face 'is something real
RBF, it is apparently a syndrome that affects millions of people around the world, and is characterized by a neutral expression that often it is perceived as selfless or simply malicious .
For most of its history, the "bitch face" has been self-diagnosed by people who often They are asked if they have a bad day.Acts such as Anna Kendrick, Kristen Stewart, or the legendary Vivien Leigh know what we are talking about.
But now the science has confirmed the legitimacy of RBF with a measurable diagnostic test.Behavioral researchers from Nordus Information Technology, Jason Rogers and Abbe Macbeth, analyzed more than 10,000 expressions with their patented FaceReader technology.They found that the neutral expression of an average person is 97% neutral and 3% of underlying emotions, while that a certain subset of people show twice the amount of underlying emotions in their neutral countenance.
Source: What the wind took, 1939When researchers used photos of celebrities such as Anna Kendrick, through her program, found an increase in the emotion of "contempt", the x-factor behind the supposed "bitch face" .But attention, it's not strictly a female phenomenon! Celebrities like Kanye West also gave high marks on the RBF test.
And that the RBF is not necessarily something that happens more in women, but in the female sector It is more stressed, because women have more pressure on being happy and smiling and getting along with others.
So what makes the resting face reflect the "bitch face"? Rogers and Macbeth do not have all the answers, but they suspect that culture plays an important role (descendants of Eastern Europeans), as well as genetics (mouth naturally twisted down ).Macbeth describes the classic RBF aspect as "slightly narrowed eyes, and a little elevation of the corners of the lips, but not in a smile." What about you? Do you think your resting face looks like the "face of bitterness"?
