Parkinson's disease (PD) involves facial masking, which may impair social interaction. Older adult observers who viewed segments of videotaped interviews of individuals with PD expressed less interest in relationships with women with higher masking and judged them as less supportive. Masking did not affect ratings of men in these domains, possibly because higher masking violates gender norms for expressivity in women but not in men. Observers formed less accurate ratings of the social supportiveness and social strain of women than men, and higher masking decreased accuracy for ratings of strain. Results suggest that some of the problems with social relationships in PD may be due to inaccurate impressions and reduced desire to interact with individuals with higher masking, especially women.
帕金森病(PD)会导致面部表情缺失,这可能会损害社交互动。观看帕金森病患者录像访谈片段的老年观察者对与面部表情缺失更严重的女性建立关系表现出较低的兴趣,并认为她们提供的支持较少。面部表情缺失在这些方面并未影响对男性的评价,这可能是因为较高程度的面部表情缺失违反了女性表达能力的性别规范,而男性则不然。与男性相比,观察者对女性社会支持性和社会压力的评价准确性较低,较高程度的面部表情缺失会降低对压力评价的准确性。结果表明,帕金森病患者社交关系中的一些问题可能是由于印象不准确以及与面部表情缺失程度较高的人(尤其是女性)互动的意愿降低所致。
