41、of Glasgow researcher,said that rather than scanning evenly 均匀地 across a face as Westerners do,Easterners fix their attention on the eyes.“We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions, Jack said.“Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal

42、measure,whereas Easterners favor the eyes and neglect 忽略 the mouth.According to Jack and her colleagues,the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously believed.As a result,facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to

45、The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions, Jack said.“Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion,Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less.In short,the data show that facial expre
