Abstract

Attachment theory suggests that interindividual differences in attachment security versus insecurity (anxiety and avoidance) contribute to the ways in which people perceive social emotional signals, particularly from the human face. Among different facial features, eye gaze conveys crucial information for social interaction, with a straight gaze triggering different cognitive and emotional processes as compared to an averted gaze. It remains unknown, however, how interindividual differences in attachment associate with early face encoding in the context of a straight versus averted gaze. Using electroencephalography (EEG) and recording event-related potentials (ERPs), specifically the N170 component, the present study (N = 50 healthy adults) measured how the characteristics of attachment anxiety and avoidance relate to the encoding of faces with respect to gaze direction and head orientation. Our findings reveal a significant relationship between gaze direction (irrespective of head orientation) and attachment anxiety on the interhemispheric (i.e. right) asymmetry of the N170 and thus provide evidence for an association between attachment anxiety and eye gaze processing during early visual face encoding.

依恋焦虑与凝视方向相关N170的关系。
依恋理论认为,依恋安全与不安全(焦虑和回避)的个体间差异有助于人们感知社会情感信号的方式,特别是来自人脸的信号。在不同的面部特征中,眼睛凝视传达了社交互动的关键信息,与凝视相比,直视会引发不同的认知和情感过程。然而,目前尚不清楚依恋的个体间差异是如何与直视和回避注视的早期面部编码联系起来的。本研究采用脑电图(EEG)和记录事件相关电位(ERPs),特别是N170分量,测量了50名健康成人的依恋焦虑和回避特征与凝视方向和头部方向的面部编码之间的关系。我们的研究结果揭示了注视方向(与头部方向无关)与N170半球间(即右侧)不对称的依恋焦虑之间的显著关系,从而为早期视觉面部编码过程中依恋焦虑与眼睛注视加工之间的关联提供了证据。
