道德信息对面孔吸引力判断的无意识调节

An Unconscious Modulation of Moral Beauty on Facial Attractiveness Evaluation

抽象语言信息是否能够影响知觉?本研究在审美领域对此进行考察,探索无意识获取的道德信息是否影响个体对相应面孔吸引力的知觉判断。结果发现个体对面孔吸引力的知觉判断受到内隐道德信息的调节,且调节效应与面孔本身吸引力水平无关;另外,面孔审美判断的反应时受到道德美丑和面孔吸引力的共同影响,尤其当两类信息相矛盾时被试需要更长的时间进行判断。研究结果表明抽象的社会道德信息可以对面孔吸引力的知觉判断产生自上而下的调节。

The present study aimed to explore whether subliminal moral information could influence judgment of facial beauty. The results showed thatthe attractiveness ratings for target faces were modulated by facial beauty. More importantly,these ratings were also influenced by the subliminal moral information. In addition,the response time for facial attractiveness judgment was modulated by both of the facial and moral aesthetic information,with longer time when a contradictionbetween these twokinds of information was encountered.These findings suggestedan implicit and automatical influence of moral information on the evaluation of facial beauty.
