威廉姆斯综合征(WS)患者以其友好的行为和不分青红皂白地对待陌生人的倾向而闻名，就像每个人都是他们的朋友一样。这种接近陌生人的倾向反映在他们对陌生面孔刺激的评分上。在这里，我们考察了他们对陌生表情面孔的感知，发现WS患者并不总是认为面孔非常平易近人。与对照组相比，WS患者认为快乐面孔更容易接近。相反，其他不太平易近人的面部刺激，WS患者对亲和性的评分低于对照组。因此，尽管WS患者会在平易性方面区分人，但他们很难抑制对社交互动的强烈强迫。这种强烈的亲社会强迫感的形式从友善和社会刺激(社会刺激吸引力)的高度突出两个方面进行了讨论。(C)2005爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Individuals with Williams syndrome (WS) are well known for their friendly behaviour and tendency to approach strangers indiscriminately as if everybody were their friend. This tendency to approach strangers is mirrored in their ratings of unfamiliar face stimuli. Here we examined their perception of unfamiliar expressive faces and found that individuals with WS do not always see faces as being highly approachable. Happy faces were rated as more approachable by individuals with WS than by controls. In contrast, the other less approachable face stimuli were rated lower on approachability by individuals with WS than by control's. Thus, it appears that although individuals with WS will discriminate people in terms of approachability, they have difficulty inhibiting their strong compulsion towards social interaction. The form of this strong pro-social compulsion is discussed both in terms of friendliness and in terms of the heightened salience of social stimuli (social stimulus attraction). (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
