博物馆研究的一个被广泛接受的发现是，随着个人看到越来越多的刺激，反复观看艺术可能与人们对艺术的关注减少有关。这种因反复观看艺术而导致的注意力下降似乎是与媒体互动的基本结果。考虑到基于实验室的经验美学和心理美学研究通常会向参与者提供多个刺激，这样的影响在实验室也是关键，因为它可能在许多已发表的实验室工作中造成强烈的混淆。然而，在实验室里，重复观看艺术的潜力被忽视了。此外，之前的博物馆研究大多将观看时间作为注意力的替代指标，而不是审查评估，这是许多实验室设计的主要组成部分。在这篇文章中，我们将这一被充分展示的现象从博物馆转移到实验室，并在3个基于实验室的研究中测试重复观看艺术对观看时间和美的评价的影响。研究1更新了现有的仅有的一项实验室研究，该研究发现注意力减少了。研究2引入了一种新的程序来解决过去研究的方法局限性，消除了参与者通过缩短观看时间来缩短实验持续时间的能力。研究3提供了另一个重复，考虑到研究中休息的调节影响。研究2和研究3都测试了东西方参与者，提供了一个复制和考虑可能的人际和跨文化差异的机会。所有研究都表明，无论文化背景如何，观看次数和评价都会随着暴露时间的增加而减少，这可能反映了艺术欣赏中的普遍反应。
A rather well-accepted finding from museum studies is that repeated art viewing may be tied to reduced attention toward art as individuals see more and more stimuli. This attention decrease from repeated art viewing appears to be a basic consequence of interaction with media. Considering lab-based studies in empirical and psychological aesthetics typically present multiple stimuli to their participants, such an effect would also be key in laboratory, since it can be a strong confounding in many published laboratory work. However, the potential of repeated art viewing has neglected in lab. Further, previous museum studies have mostly measured viewing time as a proxy of attention and not examined appraisals, which is a main component of many lab designs. In this paper, we transfer this well-demonstrated phenomenon from museum to the lab and test the impact of repeated art viewing on viewing time and appraisals of beauty in 3 lab-based studies. Study 1 updated one of the only existing lab studies, which had found decreased attention. Study 2 introduced a new procedure to solve a methodological limitation of past research, removing participants’ ability to shorten the duration of an experiment by truncating viewing time. Study 3 offered one more replication, considering modulating impact of within-study breaks. Both Study 2 and 3 tested Eastern and Western participants, offering an opportunity for replications and consideration of possible interpersonal and intercultural differences. All studies showed that viewing times and appraisals decreased over exposures, regardless of cultural background, potentially reflecting a universal reaction in art appreciation.
