This is the reason why we hate someone we have never met
News24xx.com - Do you ever feel like you suddenly hate someone without valid reasons, for example, a woman who enters your favorite restaurant and you just hate her without a reason.

"When we meet other people, we may automatically like or dislike them, but we may not necessarily know why. Our research shows that habit - through ideal influences - plays an important role, which can have implications for who we choose to be friends and get closer in the future" said Jeanne Tsai, Stanford psychology professor, as quoted by Ask Men.
This small study looked at 36 people, 18 of European descent and 18 of Chinese descent, but the findings were quite strong. They were asked to read faces, which differed by expression, race, and gender while their brains were scanned. The researchers' hypothesis of 'ideal influence' (a culturally valued emotional state) will influence their perceptions as they are right.

White people seemed to be equally attracted by the expression of calm and enthusiasm, while people of Chinese descent tended towards a calm expression. Brain activity seems to correlate with ‘ideal influence’. "People prefer and appreciate those who express positive emotions that are most valued by their own culture" said Tsai.
