Figure 1
Examples of Stimuli Used in Experiment 1a (Panel A) and Experiment 1b (Panel B).
Note. Participants were asked to select any first name from memory that, in their opinion, suited the depicted face. The face on the left side of each panel is a positive one (A: positive emotional expression; B: high in likability) and the face on the right side is a negative one (A: negative emotional expression; B: low in likability). For more information, see Langner et al. (2010) and Todorov et al. (2013); faces were created using the FaceGen software, http://facegen.com, to differ in likability).
Figure 2
Main Analysis Experiment 1.
Note. Mean occurrence of i-phonemes and o-phonemes per name depending on valence of the face to which participants had to give a name in Experiment 1a (left panel) and Experiment 1b (right panel). The dots with error bars represent means with 95% confidence intervals. The shapes are density plots, where greater width indicates higher frequency of occurrence.
Figure 3
Main Analysis Study 2.
Note. Mean likability rating of a typical name bearer depending on the occurrence of i-phonemes and o-phonemes in their name in the corpus provided by Nett et al. (2020). The dots with error bars represent means with 95% confidence intervals and the shapes are density plots.
