Question

consider this claim:
looking at a persons face can reveal certain personality traits.
which piece of evidence better supports this claim?
evidence a: in a study published in the british journal of psychology,
participants were asked to look at pictures of peoples faces and rate them on
several personality traits. with some accuracy, participants determined how
outgoing and hard - working each person was.
evidence b: in a biography of political scientist edward beamly, beamly is
quoted as saying, \when my grandmother first saw my grandfather, she said
he had the face of a kind and honest man. it turned out she was right.\

Explanation:

Evidence A is a scientific study with participants and a focus on determining personality traits from faces. It has a more objective and systematic approach compared to Evidence B, which is a single anecdotal statement from a biography. A scientific study provides broader and more reliable support for the claim as it involves multiple participants and an attempt at accuracy in rating personality traits from faces.

Answer:

Evidence A.
