hello, my name is Ellyzabeth and i'm currently doing my final assignment to get my bachelor degree in psychology. my research is an experiment about how dressing style can influence people's social perception, especially in intelligence and morality. can someone suggest me the right scale to use?
thank you in advance for the help
The choice of scale depends whether the questionnaire will be filled by the respondent (and you will evaluate it later) or you will be the main actor (i.e. observing the respondent and judging their reaction).
In the first case, there is some interesting research on the matter that can assist you:

Article Dress, body and self: Research in the social psychology of dress

Other that that, I recommend the Handbook of emotions, 3rd ed., 2008 (edited by Michael Lewis et al.).
In the second case, you can look at Paul Ekman and his work, especially on facial micro expressions:
