不同生理周期女性对男性吸引力面孔的注意偏向

Attention bias to attractive male faces in female participants with different physiological cycles

目的:探讨女性在不同生理周期对男性吸引力面孔的注意偏向。方法:选取51名女大学生,采用3吸引力(高/中/低)2提示有效性(有效/无效)2生理周期(月经期/排卵期)的被试内设计,运用线索提示的实验范式,考查其在不同生理周期对男性吸引力面孔注意偏向的差异。结果:对反应时的重复测量方差分析发现,提示有效性×生理周期的交互作用有统计学意义[F(1,50)=5.75,P<0.05],排卵期有效提示的反应时快于无效提示的反应时[(368.4±5.1)ms vs.(377.4±5.5)ms,P<0.001];对正确率的重复测量方差分析显示,吸引力、提示有效性和生理周期的主效应及其交互作用均无统计学意义(均P>0.05)。结论:处于排卵期的女大学生对男性面孔存在注意偏向,而在月经期对男性面孔不存在注意偏向。

Objective： To examine the attention bias to attractive male faces in female participants with different physiological cycles. Methods： The 3 Attractiveness（ High / medium / low） × 2 Cue（ Validity / invalidity） × 2Physiological cycles（ Menstrual / ovulatory） w ithin-subject design w ere employed to investigate the differences of attention bias to attractive male faces in 51 female college students w ho w ere in different physiological cycles using the cue-target paradigm. Results： The repeated-measures ANOVA on reaction times（ RTs） show ed significant interaction effect of cue validities × physiological cycles [F（ 1,50） = 5. 75,P〈0. 05],w ith participants had a shorter RT on validity than on invalidity in the ovulatory period [（ 368. 4 ± 5. 1） ms vs.（ 377. 4 ± 5. 5） ms,P〈0. 001].Similar repeated-measures ANOVA show ed there w ere no main or interaction effects on the accuracy rates（ P〉0. 05）. Conclusion： Female college students may have attention bias to male faces in the ovulatory period, rather than in the menstrual period.
