Self-reassurance, Self-criticism, and Eye-tracking of Happy Faces

Rok, strany: 2019, 189 - 202

This study explores the relationship between self-criticism, self-reassurance, and the face scanning patterns participants use to recognize photos of happiness. Forty-two participants were being recorded by eye-trackers while watching photos of happy and neutral facial expressions. Participants also completed the Forms of Self-Criticising/Attacking and Self-Reassuring Scale. The Hated Self score was negatively related to the total fixation duration on the eyes and around the eyes. The Inadequate Self score tended to correlate positively with the total fixation duration time on all examined areas of the face and Reassured Self score tended to correlate positively with the total fixation duration time on the area around the eyes, although none of these correlations appeared to be statistically significant. Being able to distinguish between the more pathological Hated Self form of self-criticism and the less pathological Inadequate Self could improve psychological assessment and intervention evaluations.
