Evaluation of certain personality traits of the individual through smell
Required to identify someone to do even a little talk with him. But a new study suggests that you can get for a glimpse of the personality of the person in front of you through the smell emanating from it.
Participants were assessed in the study, to take precision on the subject, the persons Qliqin after taking only a whiff of their clothes. This is the first study to test whether it can be discerned through the body odor character of the individual.
The researchers said that while the link between the provision in the responses show that the government is not perfect, but it suggests that when forming the first impression, and we keep in mind the smell of the person, as well as video and audio signals to the personality traits of their own.
Said researcher Agnieszka Sorochoaska a PhD candidate at the University of Warsaw in Poland, "we do not express ourselves only by our vision of things as they seem to us", "and express ourselves, but also how we can smell certain."
The study will be published in the next issue of European Journal of personality.
Personality traits and odors
Asked Surkolska and colleagues of 30 men and 30 women to wear white shirts of cotton for three consecutive nights. And can not be used by participants perfumes, deodorants, soap, and they can not smoke or drink alcohol or eat foods with odor during the study. And the participants also carried out on the personality test.
T-shirts have been collected from "the smell of volunteers," and assessed by the 100 men and 100 women. Request of the residents smell the shirts (and placed in plastic bags, non-transparent) and the evaluation of the personality features five volunteers depending on the odor and on a scale of one to 10. Every resident of smell six shirts, and all the smell and the shirt was evaluated by 20 residents.
Assessments of people who smelled shirts were identical to the self-assessment of the three donors in their personality traits: extraversion (tendency to be social and fun), neuroticism (the tendency to anxiety and mood), and control (the desire to be the leader).
The results were far from ideal. She said that residents Surkolska Tenbúa level of extraversion and neuroticism through smell precisely because the participants were looking in the study of other personality traits, and this is based on a video of the person's behavior.
The researchers said that the judgments of control is the most accurate in the case where the individual assesses the smell of a person who was of the opposite sex, which indicates the importance of such provisions, especially when it comes to the person in the selection of a mate.
Smell and emotions
Can be expressed in terms of physiological through our emotions, about the characteristics of extraversion, neuroticism, and domination, to some extent.
Said the researchers, for example, people who are more nervous than the secreted sweat when you face stress, which would modify the bacteria under the armpits and make it smell different.
Can also personality traits to be associated with the secretion of hormones that can change the smell of people. The researchers said that people who have a high proportion of dominance may be high levels of the hormone testosterone, which in turn may modify the sweat glands.
Surkolska said that preliminary results and we need more studies to confirm the results. She is not clear whether he will be found on the same link in other cultures known that there are materials reduce body odors.
