Abstract

Using a digital environment, this study tested how setting (museum vs. street), reputation (established vs. unestablished), and style (abstract vs. representational) affected people's aesthetic perception of art. Art novices, quasi-experts, and experts were randomly assigned to rate paintings that varied in setting, reputation, and style. Although there was no significant main effect of setting, follow-up pairwise comparisons showed that novices gave higher aesthetic judgment to paintings in street settings. There was a significant interaction between reputation, style, and expertise, such that the greater the expertise, the greater the differences in ratings between established and unestablished paintings, and the smaller the differences between abstract and representational style paintings. Quasi-experts and experts gave higher ratings to established rather than unestablished paintings, and all groups preferred representational over abstract style; however, the expert preferences reversed with unestablished paintings. The study found that the effect of reputation and expertise persisted after controlling for painting familiarity.

情境和绘画属性如何影响跨专业的审美判断

本研究利用数字环境测试了环境（博物馆与街头）、声誉（知名与不知名）和风格（抽象与具象）如何影响人们对艺术的审美感知。艺术新手、准专家和专家被随机分配到不同环境、声誉和风格的绘画作品中进行评分。尽管环境没有明显的主效应，但后续的配对比较显示，新手对街头环境中的绘画作品给予了更高的审美判断。声誉、风格和专业知识之间存在明显的交互作用，专业知识越强，成熟和不成熟绘画之间的评分差异就越大，抽象和具象风格绘画之间的差异就越小。准专家和专家对成熟画作的评分高于未成熟画作，所有组别都偏好具象风格而非抽象风格；然而，专家对未成熟画作的偏好发生了逆转。研究发现，在控制了绘画熟悉程度之后，声誉和专业知识的影响依然存在。
