Abstract

Background: In daily life, people often follow others' gaze direction to infer their attention and mental state. This phenomenon is known as gaze following.

Objective: This study aimed to explore whether gaze following in different age groups is influenced by celebrity identity.

Methods: We recruited 70 participants, including 35 older adults and 35 young adults. The experimental materials consisted of three faces with different identity information (a political leader, a movie star, and an ordinary person). Each face had left and right gaze conditions. Targets and cues were presented with both longer and shorter stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) conditions.

Results: Both older adults and young adults exhibited similar gaze following behaviors. Importantly, the celebrity effect on gaze following was observed in both groups, with stronger effects induced by the leader's and star's gazes compared to the ordinary person's gaze. Older adults showed a larger facilitation effect under the longer SOA condition compared to the shorter SOA, while no such SOA-related facilitation effect was found for young adults.

Conclusion: These findings suggest that older adults can integrate social information from others' faces (celebrity identity) into the process of gaze following as effectively as young adults.

名人效应对老年人和年轻人目光追随的影响。

背景介绍在日常生活中，人们经常会追随他人的目光方向来推断其注意力和精神状态。这种现象被称为目光追随：本研究旨在探讨不同年龄段人群的目光追随是否会受到名人身份的影响：我们招募了 70 名参与者，其中包括 35 名老年人和 35 名年轻人。实验材料包括三张具有不同身份信息的人脸（政治领袖、电影明星和普通人）。每张面孔都有左右注视条件。目标和线索的刺激开始不同步（SOA）条件有长有短：结果：老年人和年轻人都表现出了相似的注视跟随行为。重要的是，两组人都观察到了名人效应对目光追随的影响，与普通人的目光相比，领导者和明星的目光引起的影响更大。与较短的SOA相比，老年人在较长的SOA条件下表现出更大的促进效应，而年轻人则没有发现这种与SOA相关的促进效应：这些研究结果表明，老年人可以像年轻人一样有效地将来自他人面部的社会信息（名人身份）整合到目光追随过程中。
