眉毛位置对控制欲评价的影响

The Impact of Eyebrow on Dominance Ratings

生气的人脸被评价为控制欲更强,而低聚拢的眉毛被认为是生气,那么,具有低聚拢眉毛的人脸是否会被评价为控制欲更强?本研究旨在回答该问题。实验采用单因素设计,实验中,给被试呈现一系列眉毛处于正常位置或低聚的人脸,因变量为被试对该人物的控制欲和生气程度的评价。结果发现:(1)眉毛低聚的人脸被评价为更生气;(2)眉毛低聚的人脸被评价为控制欲更强;(3)眉毛位置对控制欲评价的影响受到生气程度评价的调节。这说明仅操纵眉毛位置便能引发对生气表情的感知,并进一步调节人们对人物个性的把握。

Angry faces were rated as being more dominant and faces with lowered and assembled eyebrows (v-shaped eyebrows) were perceived as being angry. Thus, whether faces with lowered and assembled eyebrows would be rated as being more dominant? The present study aims to answer this question. In the experiment, participants were presented a series of faces with their eyebrows in the typical positions or lowered and assembled and asked to rate the dominance and angry expression of the face. The results showed that faces with lowered and assembled eyebrows were rated as being angrier and more dominant. The effect of eyebrow position on dominance ratings was fully mediated by the angry ratings. The findings indicated that merely manipulating eyebrow positions could lead to a perception of being angry, which modulated people s understanding of other s personality, i. e. dominance.
