초록

본 연구는 심리 상태가 정서 인식에 영향을 미친다는 관점에서 정상인의 중립 얼굴표정에 대한 정서인식 양상과 이와 관련된 심리적 요인을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구 결과 중립 얼굴표정을 부정 정서, 특히 경멸로 인식하는 비율이 가장 높았는데 이는 중립표정의 복합성과 평가자의 내적 정서의 반영일 수 있다. 이에 판단 편향과 심리적 특성과의 관계를 조사한바, 특성불안 및 우울의 정도가 높을수록, 자아 복원력이 낮을수록, 그리고 기질 및 성격 특성상 위험회피의 성향이 높고 자율성 성향이 낮을수록 경멸 정서로의 판단 편향의 정도가 심해지는 경향이 관찰되었다. 이 결과는 정상인에서 특성적이고 특질적인 심리 요인이 중립 정서 인식에 영향을 미칠 수도 있음을 시사한다.

Abstract

Objectives: Previous studies have shown the relationship between recognition of facial expressions and psychiatric symptoms. This study investigated how healthy young adults recognize neutral faces and which psychological distresses and symptoms relate to their recognition of neutral faces. Methods: One hundred forty-three healthy volunteers participated in this study. We used neutral facial pictures, selected from the Japanese and Caucasian Facial Expressions of Emotion (JACFEE) photo set, to evaluate participants’ facial expression recognition and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Beck Depression Inventory, Toronto Alexithymia Scale, Conner-Davidson Resilience Scale, and Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) to measure and examine their psychological characteristics. Results: There were significant positive correlations between the recognition rate of neutral expressions as contempt and trait-anxiety level (r=0.21;p=0.01) and depression (r=0.20; p=0.02). This contempt-recognition was significantly negatively correlated with resilience score (r=-0.22;p=0.01) and the TCI self-directedness subscale (r=-0.29;p=0.00). Also, the TCI’s harm avoidance subscale score was significantly positively correlated with the contempt recognition rate (r=0.21; p=0.01). Conclusion: These finding suggests recognition of neutral faces as contempt may be related to psychological distress, including trait and temperament characteristics. This negative bias toward neutral emotion (expressions) may affect interpersonal relations and social functioning in a healthy population.
