Abstract

Research suggests that static depictions of social interactions preferentially capture our attention compared to non-interactions. Research also suggests that motion captures attention. To date, therefore, it is unknown whether dynamic social interactions preferentially capture attention relative to non-interactions, over and above motion cues. The present study captured 81 participants' eye-gaze when viewing 4-second video clips of social-interactions compared to motion-matched non-interactions. We hypothesised that participants would spend more time looking at the two agents in the videos relative to the background when viewing social interactions compared to non-interactions. Results confirmed our hypothesis and demonstrated that this effect was stronger for individuals with greater empathy and lower autistic traits. These results add to the growing body of research investigating the processing of social interactions in complex, naturalistic stimuli and demonstrate that social interactions do preferentially capture attention, even when motion cues are present.

EXPRESS：动态的自然社会互动的社会加工。

研究表明，与非互动相比，社会互动的静态描述更容易吸引我们的注意力。研究还表明，动作能吸引注意力。因此，到目前为止，动态的社会互动是否比非互动更优先地吸引注意力，而不是动作线索，尚不清楚。目前的研究捕捉了81名参与者在观看4秒钟的社交互动视频片段时的目光，并将其与动作匹配的非互动视频片段进行了比较。我们假设，当观看社交互动时，参与者会花更多的时间看视频中的两个代理，而不是背景。结果证实了我们的假设，并证明这种效应在同理心更强、自闭症特征更低的个体中更强。这些结果增加了对复杂、自然刺激下社会互动处理的研究，并证明了社会互动确实优先吸引注意力，即使有运动线索存在。

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.
