The features of objects have a strong influence on how we evaluate, judge, approach, and behave toward them. People generally prefer complex, symmetric, balanced and curved designs. In addition to these general trends, however, there are substantial differences among people in what they like and prefer, and in the extent to which their preferences and choices are modulated by design features. Here we aimed to determine whether curvature in real objects and abstract designs influenced participants' preference to the same extent. We found that, in general, participants prefer real objects and abstract designs with curved contours. But we also uncovered a remarkable breadth of variation in individual preferences. Finally, our results show that people who are highly sensitive to curvature in real objects are also highly sensitive to curvature in abstract designs, and that people who are insensitive to curvature in one kind of stimulus are also insensitive to the other.
物体的特征对我们如何评估、判断、接近它们以及对它们采取何种行为有着强烈的影响。人们通常更喜欢复杂、对称、平衡和曲线型的设计。然而，除了这些一般趋势外，人们在喜欢和偏好的事物以及他们的偏好和选择受设计特征调节的程度方面存在很大差异。在这里，我们旨在确定真实物体和抽象设计中的曲率是否在相同程度上影响参与者的偏好。我们发现，一般来说，参与者更喜欢具有曲线轮廓的真实物体和抽象设计。但我们也发现个体偏好存在显著的差异范围。最后，我们的结果表明，对真实物体中的曲率高度敏感的人对抽象设计中的曲率也高度敏感，而对一种刺激中的曲率不敏感的人对另一种刺激中的曲率也不敏感。
