The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the perceived facial attractiveness and appropriateness of clothing on the evaluation of task performance of target person mediated by subjects'likability toward and trait evaluation of the target person. The facial attractiveness of the female university students were used as index of physical attractiveness in this study. Three levels of facial attractiveness was manipulated based on the judgements by 30 female university students. Four types of clothes were selected perceived appropriate for two assumed situations by female university students. Three female faces having high. medium, and low attractiveness were simulated with the same body dressed four types of clothing respectively using CAD system, and a total of 12 stimulus persons were created. The design for the experiment was a $3\tiems4\times2$ randomaized factorial. with three levels of facial attractiveness(high, medium, low), and four types attire(formal-masculine, formal-feminine, casual-masculine, casual-feminine), two kinds of context (job interview, dating) in which perceptions were occurred. The subjects of this study was 524 male and female(262 of male, 262 of female) university students from 3 universities in Kwangju, Korea. The data were analysed using factor analysis. descriptive statistics, regression, path analysis. The results were as follows : 1. In bogus job interview. the direct effect of perceived facial attractiveness on task performance evaluation was .175 and the indirect effect mediated by likability and trait evaluation was .285 in path analysis model. The direct effect of perceived appropriateness of clothing on task performance evaluation was .111 and the indirect effect mediated by likability only was .0564 in pass analysis model. 2. In dating situation, the direct effect of perceived facial attractiveness on task performance evaluation was .355, the indirect effect mediated by likability and trait evaluation was .188 in path analysis model. The direct effect of perceived appropriateness of clothing on task performance evaluation was .108, the indirect effect mediated by likability and trait evaluation was .060 in Pass analysis.

This study is to analyze the concentration of visual perception of the subject through the eye-tracking experiments targeting popular characters and to investigate it is effective to highlight which part of the character in inducing consumers' interest and curiosity. As a result of the study, the subjects paid more attention to the face than the character's body, and also noted a little attention to auxiliary elements such as pants, tees, shoes, and whiskers. These results mean there is clearly different factor in which the subject's gaze on the character frequently stays and does for a long time. Therefore, the designers should recognize the differences of the concentration of visual perception by character components as a differentiating factor to feel the emotional satisfaction such as the user's interest, empathy, and immersion in the character and actively reflect it when developing the character design. In addition, there was a difference in the visual perception concentration of each of the auxiliary elements, and if careful research is done on whether the influence factors are also due to individual characteristics or another influential factors, it will be a wider study on character design.

컴퓨터와 사용자와의 효과적인 정서적 상호작용의 도구로서 의인화된 형태의 인터페이스 에이전트의 정서 표현에 대한 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 기존의 연구는 의인화된 인터페이스 에이전트가 어떤 정서를 표현하는가에 초점을 두고 있다. 그러나 인간과의 원활한 정서적 상호작용에 영향을 미치는 것은 어떤 정서인가의 문제만이 아니다. 인간은 타인의 상황과 정서에 공감하는 방식으로 정서를 표현하는 상대를 더 긍정적으로 평가한다. 또한 공감하는 방식의 정서 표현은 사회적으로 적용되는 성별 고정관념에 따라 여성적 속성으로 분류된다. 따라서 공감하는 방식의 정서 표현이라 하더라도 표현의 주체가 남성이냐 여성이냐에 따라 상대방의 인식이 달라질 수 있다. 본 연구는 인간간의 사회적 관계에서 일어나는 공감적인 정서 표현과 표현하는 주체의 성별의 효과가 인간-인터페이스 에이전트간의 상호작용에서도 나타나는지를 검증하기 위하여 참가자와 인터페이스 에이전트가 함께 게임에 참여하는 과제를 실시하고 인터페이스 에이전트의 성별, 참가자의 성별, 얼굴 표정과 말을 통한 정서 표현의 공감 여부(타인의 상황에 공감하는 정서 표현 - 자신의 상황에 대한 정서 표현), 정서 표현 여부(얼굴 표정과 말로 정서를 표현 - 정서가 배제된 무표정과 말)에 따라 인터페이스 에이전트에 대해 참가자가 지각한 배려, 호감, 신뢰, 지능, 지배, 순종이 어떻게 다른지를 측정하는 실험을 실시했다. 그 결과, 타인의 상황과 정서에 공감하는 방식으로 정서를 표현하는 에이전트의 배려, 지능, 순종적 성향을 높게 평가하는 것으로 나타났다. 남성 에이전트의 경우, 정서를 표현하거나 정서가 배제된 표현을 하는 조건에 관계없이 참가자가 지각하는 배려와 호감의 차이가 없었으나, 여성 에이전트의 경우 정서를 표현하는 조건에서 배려와 호감이 높은 것으로 평가되었다. 반대로 참가자가 인터페이스 에이전트에 대해 갖는 신뢰에 대해서 여성 에이전트의 경우, 정서를 표현하거나 정서가 배제된 표현을 하는 조건에 관계없이 참가자가 느끼는 신뢰의 차이가 없었으나 남성 에이전트의 경우, 정서가 배제된 표현을 하는 에이전트에게 더 높은 신뢰를 보였다. 또한 남성 참가자에 비해 여성 참가자가 에이전트의 배려, 호감, 지능, 순종을 높게 평가하는 경향을 보였다. 본 연구의 결과는 사용자와 인터페이스 에이전트 간의 원활한 정서적 상호작용을 위해서는 어떤 정서를 표현할 것인지 뿐만 아니라 누구에 대한 정서를 어떻게 표현하는지, 정서를 표현하는 에이전트가 남성인지 여성인지, 에이전트와 상호작용하는 사용자가 남성인지, 여성인지를 고려할 필요가 있음을 시사하고 있다.

Applying perceptual hierarchy of facial feature points, a neural network model for recognizing facial expressions was designed. Input data were convolution values of 150 facial expression pictures by Gabor-filters of 5 different sizes and 8 different orientations for each of 39 mesh points defined by MPEG-4 SNHC (Synthetic/Natural Hybrid Coding). A set of multiple regression analyses was performed with the rating value of the affective states for each facial expression and the Gabor-filtered values of 39 feature points. The results show that the pleasure-displeasure dimension of affective states is mainly related to the feature points around the mouth and the eyebrows, while a arousal-sleep dimension is closely related to the feature points around eyes. For the filter sizes. the affective states were found to be mostly related to the low spatial frequency. and for the filter orientations. the oblique orientations. An optimized neural network model was designed on the basis of these results by reducing original 1560(39x5x8) input elements to 400(25x2x8) The optimized model could predict human affective rating values. up to the correlation value of 0.886 for the pleasure-displeasure, and 0.631 for the arousal-sleep. Mapping the results of the optimized model to the six basic emotional categories (happy, sad, fear, angry, surprised, disgusted) fit 74% of human responses. Results of this study imply that, using human principles of recognizing facial expressions, a system for recognizing facial expressions can be optimized even with a a relatively little amount of information.

This study is a cross-cultural study examining whether differences in perceptions of social gender roles in Korea and Uzbekistan have different effects on ad attitudes and product attitudes through the endorsers' gender. In particular, this study was focused on the difference between the facial expression of the endorser and the moderating effect of the ad situation in these relationships. The research results are as follows. First, the difference in the perception of social gender roles was larger in Uzbekistan than in Korea. Second, the influence of gender of endorser on ad attitude was perceived to be higher in Uzbekistan than in Korea. Third, the moderating effect of facial expression(Placid vs. Cold) in the effect of gender of advertising model on advertising attitude was found only in Uzbekistan. Fourth, the moderating effect of the ad situation (Office work vs. Family life) in the relationship between the endorsers' Gender and ad attitude was also found only in Uzbekistan. Fifth, the effect of consumer's ad attitude on product attitude showed a statistically significant positive relationship in both countries. This study reveals that cultural differences in the masculinity (or femininity) dimension between Korea and Uzbekistan are also affecting the effectiveness of ads. Therefore, this study suggests that global marketers should consider not only the existing information source effects such as reliability, professionalism, and attractiveness, but also the gender, facial expression, and ad situation of the endorser according to cultural differences when selecting an ad model.

Using a modified Posner's cue-target paradigm, we investigated whether negative cues attract more attention than neutral cues in anxious people. Previous studies used commonly an unbalanced proportion of valid and invalid trials(75% vs. 25% respectively). But in the present study, an equivalent proportion of valid and invalids trials was used for measuring detection speed of cues without participant's expectancy caused by the unbalanced proportion. Emotional words(Experiment 1) and facial expressions(Experiment 2) were used as cues for target locations. The result of Experiment 1 and 2 showed that threatening cues facilitated target detection in valid trials and interfered with it in invalid trials in anxious participants and a, reverse response patterns were found in non-anxious participants. This indicates that threatening cues attract more attention to the cued location in anxious people and in contrast, non-anxious people avoid threatening stimuli. In Experiment 3, we investigated the difference of validity effect across anxiety levels. The results showed that anxious participants gave less attention to cued location when the cues were non-informative whereas non-anxious participants gave more attention to cued locations in the same condition. We discussed two kinds of cognitive bias caused by anxiety levels: attentional bias and proportion related bias.

This paper intends to prove that the props in movies can be used to communicate messages ans themes to the audience very usefully. I selected the movie "her" to investigate by the use of props. The props in the film can communicate with the audiences without a dialogue and visual. At the same time, the props can make a audiences sympathy as a role playing like a main character. As a result, the props used in the movie were explained to study their relevancy to the narratives of the movie. The props in the movie is so useful and powerful, and then image is more important than any other things in the movie as a narrative tool and storytelling.
