Abstract

Can personality, known to shape emotional experiences and gaze behaviors, influence the recognition of subtle emotional facial expressions? Do these personality-related gaze patterns change with emotional intensity? To explore this, we conducted an eye-tracking experiment with 116 participants who identified dynamic emotional facial expressions of varying intensities (anger, fear, disgust, happiness). Using a multidimensional approach to personality, we clustered participants based on Big Five personality dimensions and anxiety scores, distinguishing those scoring high in dimensions associated with positive (extroversion, agreeableness) versus negative emotions (neuroticism, social anxiety). Results showed that individuals with a positively-colored personality focused more on the mouth (likely seeking happiness cues), while those with a negatively-colored personality focused more on the eyes (likely seeking signs of negative emotions). However, at higher intensity, these gaze patterns persisted only when emotions matched participants' personality (individuals with a negatively-colored personality focused more on the eyes than others, but only when viewing fear or anger). Yet, personality did not affect the sensory discrimination or decision-making processes for subtle emotion identification. Thus, personality, as a multidimensional construct, seems to influence gaze strategies, facilitating emotionally congruent experiences without hindering the recognition of others' emotions, even subtle ones, which is crucial for effective social interactions.

表达:个性如何在不影响微妙情感识别的情况下塑造凝视行为。
众所周知,性格可以塑造情感体验和凝视行为,它会影响对微妙的情感面部表情的识别吗?这些与人格相关的凝视模式会随着情绪强度而改变吗?为了探索这一点,我们对116名参与者进行了一项眼球追踪实验,他们识别了不同强度的动态情绪面部表情(愤怒、恐惧、厌恶、快乐)。使用多维人格研究方法,我们根据五大人格维度和焦虑得分对参与者进行分组,区分出积极情绪(外向性、亲和性)和消极情绪(神经质、社交焦虑)相关维度得分高的参与者。结果显示,具有积极色彩性格的人更关注嘴巴(可能是在寻找快乐的线索),而具有消极色彩性格的人更关注眼睛(可能是在寻找消极情绪的迹象)。然而,在更高的强度下,只有当情绪与参与者的个性相匹配时,这些凝视模式才会持续存在(具有消极色彩个性的个体比其他人更关注眼睛,但只有在看到恐惧或愤怒时)。然而,人格不影响感官辨别和微妙情绪识别的决策过程。因此,人格作为一个多维结构,似乎影响凝视策略,促进情感上的一致体验,而不妨碍对他人情绪的识别,即使是微妙的情绪,这对有效的社会互动至关重要。

期刊介绍: Promoting the interests of scientific psychology and its researchers, QJEP, the journal of the Experimental Psychology Society, is a leading journal with a long-standing tradition of publishing cutting-edge research. Several articles have become classic papers in the fields of attention, perception, learning, memory, language, and reasoning. The journal publishes original articles on any topic within the field of experimental psychology (including comparative research). These include substantial experimental reports, review papers, rapid communications (reporting novel techniques or ground breaking results), comments (on articles previously published in QJEP or on issues of general interest to experimental psychologists), and book reviews. Experimental results are welcomed from all relevant techniques, including behavioural testing, brain imaging and computational modelling. QJEP offers a competitive publication time-scale. Accepted Rapid Communications have priority in the publication cycle and usually appear in print within three months. We aim to publish all accepted (but uncorrected) articles online within seven days. Our Latest Articles page offers immediate publication of articles upon reaching their final form. The journal offers an open access option called Open Select, enabling authors to meet funder requirements to make their article free to read online for all in perpetuity. Authors also benefit from a broad and diverse subscription base that delivers the journal contents to a world-wide readership. Together these features ensure that the journal offers authors the opportunity to raise the visibility of their work to a global audience.
