性别刻板印象与面部情绪的性别类型感知有关。这种解释最近受到了质疑,因为情感的面部线索与性别二态性面部线索混淆了。在这里,我们研究的视觉线索和性别刻板印象的生物运动显示的看法中的作用,从而克服了固有的面部显示的形态混淆。在四项研究中,参与者的判断揭示了性别陈规定型观念。观察员准确地感知情绪的生物运动显示(研究1),这影响性别分类。愤怒的表现绝大多数被认为是男性;悲伤的表现被认为是女性(研究2-4)。此外,当刺激等同于速度时,这种模式仍然很强(研究3)。我们认为,这些结果是因为知觉者应用情感的性别刻板印象来推断性别类别(研究4)。视觉科学和社会心理学的影响进行了讨论。(C)2011 Elsevier B.

Gender stereotypes have been implicated in sex-typed perceptions of facial emotion. Such interpretations were recently called into question because facial cues of emotion are confounded with sexually dimorphic facial cues. Here we examine the role of visual cues and gender stereotypes in perceptions of biological motion displays, thus overcoming the morphological confounding inherent in facial displays. In four studies, participants' judgments revealed gender stereotyping. Observers accurately perceived emotion from biological motion displays (Study 1), and this affected sex categorizations. Angry displays were overwhelmingly judged to be men: sad displays were judged to be women (Studies 2-4). Moreover, this pattern remained strong when stimuli were equated for velocity (Study 3). We argue that these results were obtained because perceivers applied gender stereotypes of emotion to infer sex category (Study 4). Implications for both vision sciences and social psychology are discussed. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
