对面部吸引力的判断在社会交往中起着重要的作用。然而，目前还不清楚为什么这些判断是可塑的。本研究旨在了解是否提取的人的知识会导致不同的判断相同的面孔的吸引力。采用事件相关电位和学习-再认任务考察了人的知识对面孔吸引力的影响。结果表明，与熟悉面孔相匹配的负性面孔相比，熟悉面孔与正性面孔相匹配的负性面孔更有吸引力，并能诱发更大的早期后验负波（EPN）和晚期正波（LPC）。此外，积极相似的面孔有相同的行为结果，并诱发大LPC，而不熟悉的面孔没有任何显着的影响。这些结果表明，人的知识对面部吸引力的影响发生在从早期到后期的面部吸引力加工，这种效果可以概括的基础上的相似性的面部结构，发生在后期。这一机制可以解释为什么个体会对面部吸引力形成不同的判断。
Judgments of facial attractiveness play an important role in social interactions. However, it still remains unclear why these judgments are malleable. The present study aimed to understand whether the retrieval of person knowledge leads to different judgments of attractiveness of the same face. Event-related potentials and learning-recognition tasks were used to investigate the effects of person knowledge on facial attractiveness. The results showed that compared with familiar faces that were matched with negative person knowledge, those matched with positive person knowledge were evaluated as more attractive and evoked a larger early posterior negativity (EPN) and late positive complex (LPC). Additionally, positive similar faces had the same behavioral results and evoked large LPC, while unfamiliar faces did not have any significant effects. These results indicate that the effect of person knowledge on facial attractiveness occurs from early to late stage of facial attractiveness processing, and this effect could be generalized based on the similarity of the face structure, which occurred at the late stage. This mechanism may explain why individuals form different judgments of facial attractiveness.
