What influence does the mother's odor have on social perception?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

From birth, parents play an important role in a child\u2019s development. They not only provide fresh diapers and food, but also offer the child security, comfort, and trust\u2014essential foundations for discovering the world around them. In this project, we examine the role a mother\u2019s scent plays in this context. For example, can the mere scent of the mother have a calming effect on young babies? And how does this, in turn, influence the way babies perceive other people? We explore these questions primarily in infants between six and seven months of age.<\/p>\n

Do infants infer character traits from faces?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

When adults see another person for the first time, they usually form (at least a preliminary) opinion of that person quite quickly\u2014for example, judging them as more or less trustworthy. Recent studies show that similar judgments can already be observed in young children. We are now investigating whether such judgments can also be observed in infants. In addition, we are interested in how infants arrive at these judgments and what mechanisms might underlie them.<\/p>\n
