Eye Movements in Viewing Love-related and Sex-related Stimuli: Effects of Sexual Attitude and Passionate Love

Abstract

Abstract: In the current study, we measured the eye movements of 15 males and 19 females when they were viewing love-related and sex-related stimuli (including pictures and sentences), and investigated the effects of individual's passionate love level and sexual attitude on the perception of these stimuli. The results showed that 1) males showed more interest in love-related pictures than sex-related pictures, but females attend similarly to these pictures; 2) individuals with conservative sexual attitude looked at sex-related pictures more times than at love-related pictures, but no such difference was found in individuals with liberal sexual attitude; (3) individuals who were wildly in love and had occasional bursts of passion paid more attention to sex-related sentences than love-related sentence. It indicated that viewing patterns of love-related stimuli differ from that of sex-related stimuli, and this difference was modulated by one's sexual attitude and passionate love.

摘要： 采用眼动技术，记录了15名男性和19名女性在观看与爱相关刺激和与性相关刺激（包括图片和句子）时的眼动过程，并测量了个体的激情爱水平和性态度对这些刺激感知的影响。结果表明：（1）相对于性相关图片，男性对爱相关图片更感兴趣，但在女性中并未发现偏好；（2）相对于爱相关图片，保守型性态度的个体对性相关图片的注意次数更多，但在开放型性态度的个体中未见显著差异；（3）相较于爱相关句子，激情爱水平为疯狂、不顾一切的爱和偶尔爆发激情的个体更关注性相关句子。研究表明，爱相关刺激与性相关刺激的视觉注意模式有所不同，且这种差异受个体性态度与激情爱水平的影响。
