Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)
Previous research suggests that people can accurately identify a person’s sexual orientation from facial cues alone. Many of these studies have relied on images collected from various online sources that may contain other contextual cues to sexual orientation. Additionally, heterosexual and homosexual individuals are typically presented using a 50/50 distribution, which does not accurately reflect the real-world distribution of faces we encounter. This
study aims to investigate whether people are more accurate at identifying sexual orientation from facial cues when the distribution of images presented more accurately reflects the real world distribution of straight and gay faces.
