Abstract
This systematic literature review examines research on physiognomy from a variety of perspectives, including cultural, religious, and artistic dimensions, in order to define research boundaries and design studies that improve existing knowledge, deepen understanding, and generate new insights. Using research literature such as books, papers, and other publications, this study analyzes approaches to physiognomy in order to produce unique tools for analyzing personal behavior using facial recognition codes based on Buddhist principles. The goal is to develop positive relationships within communities and overall societal well-being. The study reveals a variety of physiognomy studies organized into six themes: 1) integrating physiognomy with psychological assessment, 2) designing and developing automated physiognomy systems, 3) combining automated physiognomy systems with psychological measurement methods, 4) perceptions and beliefs about physiognomy, 5) physiognomy for character development, and 6) investigating the strategic implications of physiognomy on organizational success.
