ESRC StudentshipRecent research has shown the ability for personality traits to be observed from the face (Kramer & Ward, 2010). Specific personality traits, such as neuroticism, are highly correlated with mental health disorders. This research aims to determine if this link is observable from the face. Research is primarily concerned with the ability to determine clinical syndromes such as depression, autism, obsessive-compulsive disorder and schizotypal personality from the faces of others.
