Survey finds that faces wearing black face masks are rated most attractive and trustworthy among young adults, indicating shifted social impressions during the pandemic.

Key Points

Faces covered with black face masks were perceived as the most attractive and trustworthy, whereas uncovered faces received the lowest scores across evaluated groups.
Across a survey of 209 respondents evaluating blue surgical face masks and other coverings, women gave significantly higher ratings of trustworthiness than men did.
These findings highlight that the covid-19 pandemic altered interpersonal impressions, linking protective face coverings with increased perceived trustworthiness.
