Abstract

The relation between empathy and aesthetic experience has been stated early in empirical aesthetics. Aesthetic empathy means the ability to take the perspective of an artwork´s depicted content or form. Nowadays, empathy defines the ability to infer other persons´ mental states and feelings. In this study, we investigated the relationship between empathy and aesthetic response and aesthetic inference abilities. Subjects judged twenty-four visual artworks on an affective, a cognitive, and a beauty dimension, in a Self- and Other-assessment. We analyzed these data in relation to self-judged empathy on four dimensions: emotional and cognitive empathy in fictitious and in real-world situations. Additionally, we considered gender differences in empathy and aesthetic response. Results show (gender-specific) correlations between empathy and aesthetic response and aesthetic inference abilities. This supports the assumption that empathy assists to adopt the perspective of visual artworks as well as to infer the aesthetic preferences of other people.

移情与性别对视觉艺术作品审美反应与审美推理的关系
在经验美学中,移情与审美经验的关系早已被阐明。审美移情意味着能够从艺术作品所描绘的内容或形式的角度出发。如今,同理心被定义为推断他人精神状态和感受的能力。在本研究中,我们探讨了共情与审美反应和审美推理能力的关系。在自我和他人评估中,受试者对24件视觉艺术品进行情感、认知和美感维度的评判。我们从虚拟情境和现实情境中的情感共情和认知共情四个维度分析了这些数据与自我判断共情的关系。此外,我们还考虑了移情和审美反应的性别差异。结果显示共情与审美反应和审美推理能力之间存在(性别差异)相关。这支持了一种假设,即移情有助于采用视觉艺术作品的视角,并推断其他人的审美偏好。
