In this model two dimensions (valence and dominance) underpin social judgements of faces. Because this model has primarily been developed and tested in Western regions it is unclear whether these findings apply to other regions. We addressed this question by replicating Oosterhof and Todorov's methodology across 11 world regions 41 countries and 11570 participants. When we used Oosterhof and Todorov's original analysis strategy the valence-dominance model generalized across regions. When we used an alternative methodology to allow for correlated dimensions we observed much less generalization. Collectively these results suggest that while the valence-dominance model generalizes very well across regions when dimensions are forced to be orthogonal regional differences are revealed when we use different extraction methods and correlate and rotate the dimension reduction solution.Englishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessEXPLORATORY FACTOR-ANALYSIS, 1ST IMPRESSIONS, FACES, COMPONENTS, ATTRIBUTIONS, PREFERENCES, INFERENCES, COMPETENCE, NUMBERArticle
