Recently scientists are suggesting that humans connect people's names with their appearance,and can even guess someone's name based on how they look.
Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel collected thousands of photos of people's faces.They labeled each photo with four names.Then,they asked volunteers to guess which of the four names was correct.The volunteers were able to guess the right name 38 percent of the time.It seems that humans are able to recognize certain characteristics of faces that can give them clues(线索)about someone's name,Reader's Digest reported.
However,this only works when we're looking at names within our own culture.In addition,the volunteers were not good at guessing the real names of people who use nicknames more often than their realnames.This shows that a person's appearance is influenced by his name only if he uses it often.
"This kind of face-name matching happens because of a process of self-fulfilling prophecy(自我实现预言),as we become what other people expect us to become," Ruth Mayo from the university told the science news website EurekAlert.
The studies have shown that gender(性别)and race stereotypes(种族刻板印象)can influence a person's appearance.The researchers believe there are also similar stereotypes about names.For example,people think that men named Bob should have round faces because the word itself looks round.People may think that women named Rose are beautiful,just like the flower they are named for.
