戴口罩是预防2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）等若干呼吸道疾病传播的重要手段之一。虽然在西半球，人们对这种口罩的接受程度正在提高，但许多人认为戴口罩会影响社交。在本实验中，我们测试了面具对情绪可读性的影响。参与者（N = 41，通过先验功率测试计算;随机样本;不同年龄的健康人，18-87岁）评估了12张不同面孔所显示的情感表达。每一张脸随机呈现六种不同的表情（愤怒、厌恶、恐惧、快乐、中性和悲伤），同时完全可见或部分被面具覆盖。在自己对所显示的情绪的评估中，较低的准确性和较低的信心表明情绪阅读被面具的存在强烈激怒。我们进一步检测到特定的困惑模式，主要是在将厌恶的面孔误解为愤怒以及评估许多其他情绪（例如，快乐、悲伤和愤怒）作为中性。我们讨论的补偿行动，可以保持社会互动的有效性（例如，肢体语言、手势和口头交流），即使相关的视觉信息严重减少。
Wearing face masks is one of the essential means to prevent the transmission of certain respiratory diseases such as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Although acceptance of such masks is increasing in the Western hemisphere, many people feel that social interaction is affected by wearing a mask. In the present experiment, we tested the impact of face masks on the readability of emotions. The participants (N = 41, calculated by an a priori power test; random sample; healthy persons of different ages, 18–87 years) assessed the emotional expressions displayed by 12 different faces. Each face was randomly presented with six different expressions (angry, disgusted, fearful, happy, neutral, and sad) while being fully visible or partly covered by a face mask. Lower accuracy and lower confidence in one’s own assessment of the displayed emotions indicate that emotional reading was strongly irritated by the presence of a mask. We further detected specific confusion patterns, mostly pronounced in the case of misinterpreting disgusted faces as being angry plus assessing many other emotions (e.g., happy, sad, and angry) as neutral. We discuss compensatory actions that can keep social interaction effective (e.g., body language, gesture, and verbal communication), even when relevant visual information is crucially reduced.
