物体運動における接近回避行動が対象への生物性認知と好ましさに与える影響

Abstract

This study examined the effects of approach-avoidance behavior on animacy and preference to the object. We operated the direction of movement (approach, avoidance and control), change frequency (1, 3 and 7) and change timing (constant, random) in object movement using a black circle as a stimulus. As the results, in approach movement condition, evaluation scores for the animacy increased with the increase of change frequency. The perception of animacy attracted the attention to the object, active eye tracking increased participants' preferences for the object. In avoidance movement, active eye tracking caused by the motion of object away from irrespective of the perception of animacy, evaluation scores for the preference increased. These results suggested that the preference decision caused by active eye tracking to the object movement.
