People | People intuit other's gait consciously and subconsciously to attempt to determine interpersonal characteristics, (personality, social status, health etc.) to varying degrees of accuracy. <ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0010027712001102</ref> [[Dark triad|Psychopaths]] are more accurate at perceiving potential victim's vulnerability based on gait cues. <ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0191886918304896</ref> [[Asperger's Syndrome|Autists]] also generally have a more awkward gait compared to [[NT|neurotypicals]].<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0966636219303601</ref> The awkwardness (lack of rhythm) is especially noticeable using motion tracking software.<ref>https://www.spectrumnews.org/features/deep-dive/autism-in-motion/</ref> | ||
A study on body motion cues to predict others' intentions was performed to understand better how intentions and traits are perceived from body movement. The researchers conducted two experiments to investigate whether the perceived traits of actors could be determined from their body motion and whether these traits were associated with their perceived intentions. The researchers recorded body motions from 26 professional actors, who were instructed to move in a "hero"-like or a "villain"-like manner. In the first experiment, 190 participants viewed individual video recordings of these actors. They were required to provide ratings to the body motion stimuli and a series of different cognitive dimensions (intentions, attractiveness, dominance, trustworthiness, and distinctiveness). The intersubject ratings across observers were highly consistent, suggesting that social traits are readily determined from body motion. | A study on body motion cues to predict others' intentions was performed to understand better how intentions and traits are perceived from body movement.
