Shownotes Transcript

Can your face reveal more than you think? In this episode of Mind Theory, we explore the fascinating science of microexpressions—those subtle facial movements that give away your true emotions in the blink of an eye. Drawing on insights from psychology and studies that suggest our brains make snap judgments about personality traits, trustworthiness, and even competence based on facial cues, we’ll discuss how accurate these perceptions can be. We’ll also dive into the dangers of stereotyping and self-fulfilling prophecies, showing why it’s important to consider context before making assumptions based on a person’s face. Tune in and discover what your face might be saying without you even knowing!
