人们不断地对环境中遇到的物体做出快速判断。这种快速判断必须基于目标的物理属性，但这些属性的性质尚不清楚。我们假设，轮廓的急剧变化可能会传递一种威胁感，因此会引发负面偏见。我们的结果与这一假设是一致的。视觉对象所具有的轮廓的类型--轮廓是尖角的还是弯曲的--对人们对该对象的态度有着至关重要的影响。
People constantly make snap judgments about objects encountered in the environment. Such rapid judgments must be based on the physical properties of the targets, but the nature of these properties is yet unknown. We hypothesized that sharp transitions in contour might convey a sense of threat, and therefore trigger a negative bias. Our results were consistent with this hypothesis. The type of contour a visual object possesses-whether the contour is sharp angled or curved-has a critical influence on people's attitude toward that object.
