There is a stable relationship between the Openness/Intellect domain of personality and aesthetic engagement. However, neither of these are simple constructs and while the relationship exists, process based evidence explaining the relationship is still lacking. This research sought to clarify the relationship by evaluating the influence of the Openness and Intellect aspects on several different aesthetic emotions. Two studies looked at the between- and within-person differences in arousal and the emotions of interest, pleasure and confusion in response to visual art. The results suggest that Openness, as opposed to Intellect, was predictive of greater arousal, interest and pleasure, while both aspects explained less confusion. Differences in Openness were associated with within-person emotion appraisal contingencies, particularly greater novelty-interest and novelty-pleasure relationships. Those higher in Openness were particularly influenced by novelty in artworks. For pleasure this relationship suggested a different qualitative structure of appraisals. The appraisal of novelty is part of the experience of pleasure for those high in Openness, but not those low in Openness. This research supports the utility of studying Openness and Intellect as separate aspects of the broad domain and clarifies the relationship between Openness and aesthetic states in terms of within-person appraisal processes.
人格的开放性/智力领域与审美参与之间存在稳定的关系。然而，这两者都不是简单的结构，虽然这种关系存在，但解释这种关系的基于过程的证据仍然缺乏。本研究旨在通过评估开放性和智力方面对几种不同审美情绪的影响来澄清这种关系。两项研究考察了对视觉艺术的反应中，唤醒以及兴趣、愉悦和困惑情绪在个体间和个体内的差异。结果表明，与智力相反，开放性能够预测更高的唤醒水平、兴趣和愉悦感，而这两个方面对困惑情绪的解释力较小。开放性的差异与个体内情绪评估的偶然性有关，特别是更高的新奇 - 兴趣和新奇 - 愉悦关系。开放性较高的人尤其受到艺术作品中新奇性的影响。对于愉悦感而言，这种关系表明了评估的不同质性结构。对于开放性高的人来说，新奇性的评估是愉悦体验的一部分，但对于开放性低的人则不是。本研究支持将开放性和智力作为广义领域的不同方面进行研究的实用性，并从个体内评估过程的角度阐明了开放性与审美状态之间的关系。
