Visual exploration is driven by two main factors - the stimuli in our environment, and our own individual interests and intentions. Research investigating these two aspects of attentional guidance has focused almost exclusively on factors common across individuals. The present study took a different tack, and examined the role played by individual differences in personality. Our findings reveal that trait curiosity is a robust and reliable predictor of an individual's eye movement behavior in scene-viewing. These findings demonstrate that who a person is relates to how they move their eyes.
视觉探索由两个主要因素驱动——我们环境中的刺激物，以及我们自身的个体兴趣和意图。研究这两个方面的注意力引导几乎完全集中在个体共有的因素上。本研究采用了不同的方法，考察了人格个体差异所扮演的角色。我们的研究结果表明，特质好奇心是个体在场景观察中眼动行为的一个强有力且可靠的预测指标。这些发现表明，一个人的身份与他们的眼睛移动方式有关。
