Shorn Scalps and Perceptions of Male Dominance (Mannes, 2013)
- Three studies contribute to the literature on dominance and nonverbal behavior...by examining how a man’s choice to shave his head influences person perception.
- In Study 1, men with shaved heads were rated as more dominant than similar men with full heads of hair.
- In Study 2, men whose hair was digitally removed were perceived as more dominant, taller, and stronger than their authentic selves.
- Study 3 extends these results with nonphotographic stimuli and demonstrates how men experiencing natural hair loss may improve their interpersonal standing by shaving.
