(2023福州外国语学校期中) People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions— and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.
Rachael Jack, a researcher from University of Glasgow, said that rather than scanning evenly(均匀地) across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes.
“ We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions,” Jack said.“ Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, but Easterners favour the eyes and ignore the mouth.”
According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human communication of emotions is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that have been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to express emotions in cross- cultural situations.
The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasians and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral. They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies.
It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than Westerners did.“ The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions,” Jack said.“ Our data suggest that Westerners use the whole face to convey emotions, while Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less.”
In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotions. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help improve our understanding of human emotions. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.
( ) 1. What does the discovery show about Westerners?
A. They observe the eyes and the mouth in different ways.
B. They have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions.
C. They pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth.
D. They consider facial expressions universally reliable.
( ) 2. What were the people asked to do in the study?
A. To observe the researchers’ faces. B. To get their faces impressive.
C. To make a face at each other. D. To classify some face pictures.
( ) 3. In comparison with Westerners, what are Easterners likely to do?
A. They study the mouth more frequently.
B. They examine the eyes more attentively.
C. They read fa cial expressions more correctly.
D. They do translation more successfully.
( ) 4. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Cultural Differences in Reading Emotions
B. Effective Methods to Develop Social Skills
C. How to Increase Cross- cultural Understanding
D. The Eye as the Window to the Soul
