Abstract

Do aesthetic preferences for images of neatly organized compositions (e.g., images collected on blogs like Things Organized Neatly©) generalize across cultures? In an earlier study, focusing on stimulus and personal properties related to order and complexity, Western participants indicated their preference for one of two simultaneously presented images (100 pairs). In the current study, we compared the data of the native Dutch-speaking participants from this earlier sample ( N = 356) to newly collected data from a native Chinese-speaking sample ( N = 220). Overall, aesthetic preferences were quite similar across cultures. When relating preferences for each sample to ratings of order, complexity, soothingness, and fascination collected from a Western, mainly Dutch-speaking sample, the results hint at a cross-culturally consistent preference for images that Western participants rate as more ordered, but a cross-culturally diverse relation between preferences and complexity.

对组织整齐的作品的审美偏好的跨文化比较:中国母语样本与荷兰母语样本的比较
对整齐划一的图片(例如在博客上收集的图片,如 "整齐划一的事物"©)的审美偏好是否具有跨文化的普遍性?在早先的一项研究中,西方受试者重点研究了与秩序和复杂性相关的刺激和个人属性,他们对同时呈现的两幅图像(100 对)中的一幅图像表示出了偏好。在本研究中,我们将先前样本中以荷兰语为母语的参与者(356 人)的数据与新收集的以汉语为母语的样本(220 人)的数据进行了比较。总体而言,不同文化背景下的审美偏好非常相似。当把每个样本的偏好与从西方(主要是荷兰语样本)收集到的对有序性、复杂性、舒适性和迷人性的评价联系起来时,结果表明,西方参与者对被认为更有序的图像具有跨文化的一致偏好,但在偏好与复杂性之间却存在跨文化的不同关系。
