The pandemic has made wearing masks commonplace, prompting researchers to investigate their effects on interpersonal perception. Findings indicate masks obstruct face identification and expression recognition, with lower face cues being most affected. When judging attractiveness, masks can enhance the appeal of less attractive faces, but reduce the appeal of more attractive faces. Trust and speech perception outcomes are inconclusive. Future studies could focus on individual differences in how masks influence our perception of others.
疫情使戴口罩变得司空见惯，这促使研究人员去探究口罩对人际感知的影响。研究结果表明，口罩会妨碍面部识别和表情识别，其中较低的面部线索受影响最大。在判断吸引力时，口罩会增强不太有吸引力的面孔的吸引力，但会降低更有吸引力的面孔的吸引力。信任和言语感知的结果尚无定论。未来的研究可以关注口罩如何影响我们对他人的感知方面的个体差异。
