检测某些情绪（如恐惧）的能力受损与多种疾病有关，并随着时间的推移遵循个体间变异和个体内稳定的模式。恐惧识别的缺陷往往与社会和人际关系的困难，但这种处理缺陷可能发生的机制还没有很好的理解。一个潜在的机制，通过受损的恐惧检测可能会影响社会能力是通过减少观点采择，感知和考虑另一个人的观点的能力。在当前的研究中，我们假设面部情绪识别准确性的个体内变异性与表征良好的非临床成人样本的观点采择能力有关。结果表明，准确检测他人脸上恐惧的能力与观点采择呈正相关，与最初的假设一致。这种关系似乎是识别恐惧所独有的，因为观点采择与识别其他基本情绪没有显著联系。这项研究的结果代表了建立FER和观点采择困难的一些过程之间的潜在机制的第一步。在非临床成人样本中建立这些过程之间的关系是很重要的，这样我们就可以考虑贫困的观点采择对恐惧感知的发展或病理影响的可能性。
Impairment in the ability to detect certain emotions, such as fear, is linked to multiple disorders and follows a pattern of inter-individual variability and intra-individual stability over time. Deficits in fear recognition are often related to social and interpersonal difficulties but the mechanisms by which this processing deficit might occur are not well understood. One potential mechanism through which impaired fear detection may influence social competency is through diminished perspective-taking, the ability to perceive and consider the point of view of another individual. In the current study, we hypothesized that intra-individual variability in the accuracy of facial emotion recognition is linked to perspective-taking abilities in a well-characterized, non-clinical adult sample. Results indicated that the ability to accurately detect fear in the faces of others was positively correlated with perspective-taking, consistent with initial hypotheses. This relationship appeared to be unique to recognition of fear, as perspective-taking was not significantly associated with recognition of the other basic emotions. Results from this study represent an initial step towards establishing a potential mechanism between some processes of FER and perspective-taking difficulties. It is important to establish the relationship between these processes in a non-clinical adult sample so that we can consider the possibility of a developmental or pathological influence of impoverished perspective-taking on fear perception.
