Abstract

Dynamic face stimuli are increasingly used in face perception research, as increasing evidence shows they are perceived differently from static photographs. One popular method for creating dynamic faces is the dynamic morph, which can animate the transition between expressions by blending two photographs together. Although morphs offer increased experimental control, their unnatural motion differs from the biological facial motion captured in video recordings. This study aimed to compare ratings of emotion intensity and genuineness in video recordings, dynamic morphs, and static photographs of happy, sad, fearful, and angry expressions. We found that video recordings were perceived to have greater emotional intensity than dynamic morphs, and video recordings of happy expressions were perceived as more genuine compared to happy dynamic morphs. Unexpectedly, static photographs and video recordings had similar ratings for genuineness and intensity. Overall, these results suggest that dynamic morphs may be an inappropriate substitute for video recordings, as they may elicit misleading dynamic effects.

动态劣势？动态变形情绪的社会认知与视频和照片不同

在人脸感知研究中，越来越多地使用动态人脸刺激，因为越来越多的证据表明，人们对动态人脸的感知与静态照片不同。创建动态人脸的一种流行方法是动态变形，它可以通过将两张照片混合在一起，使表情之间的过渡变得生动。虽然变形提供了更多的实验控制，但其不自然的运动与视频记录中捕捉到的生物面部运动不同。本研究旨在比较视频记录、动态变形和静态照片中快乐、悲伤、恐惧和愤怒表情的情绪强度和真实度。我们发现，与动态变形相比，视频录像被认为具有更强的情绪强度；与快乐的动态变形相比，快乐表情的视频录像被认为更真实。出乎意料的是，静态照片和视频录像在真实性和强度方面的评分相似。总之，这些结果表明，动态变形可能不适合替代视频记录，因为它们可能会引起误导性的动态效果。
