Abstract

AbstractAs a significant variable related to individual differences, gender affects people’s attitudes and perceptions. The main concern of this study is to investigate the importance of gender in the architectural design process. To this end, it measures architectural perception using neuroscientific measurement tools such as fMRI and objectively examines how the brains of men and women respond to the built environment. A survey experiment was conducted to determine differences between the measurement of spatial features in men and women. The fMRI results showed a significant gender difference between the neural activation of the brain areas involved in architectural perception. In support of the brain imaging results, the survey experiment indicated that women perceive an architectural setting and its visual elements in greater detail than men. In contrast, men rate three-dimensional perception and mental visualization significantly better and pay more attention to it than women.KEYWORDS: Neurosciencearchitectural stimulibrain areasbrain activationgenderperceptionfMRI AcknowledgmentI would like to express my undying gratitude to all the volunteer participants who assisted me in this study.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

建筑感知中性别差异的神经学研究

摘要性别作为一个与个体差异相关的重要变量，影响着人们的态度和认知。本研究的主要关注点是探讨性别在建筑设计过程中的重要性。为此，它使用功能磁共振成像(fMRI)等神经科学测量工具来测量建筑感知，并客观地检查男性和女性的大脑如何对建筑环境做出反应。研究人员进行了一项调查实验，以确定男性和女性在空间特征测量方面的差异。fMRI结果显示，与建筑感知有关的大脑区域的神经激活存在显著的性别差异。为了支持大脑成像的结果，调查实验表明，女性对建筑环境及其视觉元素的感知比男性更细致。相比之下，男性对三维感知和心理可视化的评价明显高于女性，并且对它们更加关注。关键词:神经科学;建筑刺激;脑区;脑激活;;披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。

期刊介绍： Founded at the University of Sydney in 1958 by Professor Henry Cowan to promote continued professional development, Architectural Science Review presents a balanced collection of papers on a wide range of topics. From its first issue over 50 years ago the journal documents the profession’s interest in environmental issues, covering topics such as thermal comfort, lighting, and sustainable architecture, contributing to this extensive field of knowledge by seeking papers from a broad geographical area. The journal is supported by an international editorial advisory board of the leading international academics and its reputation has increased globally with individual and institutional subscribers and contributors from around the world. As a result, Architectural Science Review continues to be recognised as not only one of the first, but the leading journal devoted to architectural science, technology and the built environment. Architectural Science Review publishes original research papers, shorter research notes, and abstracts of PhD dissertations and theses in all areas of architectural science including: -building science and technology -environmental sustainability -structures and materials -audio and acoustics -illumination -thermal systems -building physics -building services -building climatology -building economics -ergonomics -history and theory of architectural science -the social sciences of architecture
