The present study applied an impression transferring method to such higher-order impressions as “elegance” or “attractiveness” to manipulate the facial impressions and confirmed the validity of this method. First, impression ratings were performed by the semantic differential method on synthesized faces utilizing potent physical information by the principal components. Then we chose several principal components that had larger effects for modifying the impressions related to the Evaluation factor (e.g. elegant, attractive, etc.) in Experiment 1. Next, based on the results of the impression ratings of actual faces, we chose two sets of sample faces: high Evaluation and low Evaluation (Experiment 2). In Experiment 3, we successfully derived the impression transfer vectors that modified the evaluative impressions based on the results of Experiments 1 and 2. We discussed the potentiality of the impression transfer vector method to render higher-order impressions more dynamically and this technique's applicability to various fields.
