Theoretical studies and perspectives have argued that humanities positively influence art and design learning performance, yet little study has tested this argument empirically. Further than testing the impact of humanities on art and design learning performance, the present study explores how humanities influence art and design learning performance. The present study investigates the influence of humanistic knowledge (e.g., history and literature) and skills, capabilities (e.g., innovation and narrative) and spirits on art and design learning performance (e.g., professional course marks) empirically via a survey. The moderations of age and gender are also tested. The results showed that humanistic knowledge and skills and humanistic spirits increase the art and design learning performance of visual communication and industrial design students, respectively. Humanistic capabilities increase art and design learning performance for all subjects. Besides, we found the individual difference that the effects of humanistic capabilities and humanistic spirits are stronger in male visual communication students than in female visual communication students. The pedagogical strategy of humanistic education for improving art and design learning is discussed based on the results.

人文学科对艺术设计学习绩效的影响：实证研究

理论研究和观点认为人文学科对艺术和设计的学习表现有积极影响，但很少有研究实证检验这一论点。除了测试人文学科对艺术和设计学习绩效的影响之外，本研究还探讨了人文学科如何影响艺术和设计学习绩效。本研究通过调查实证研究了人文知识（如历史、文学）和技能、能力（如创新、叙事）和精神对艺术设计学习表现（如专业课程成绩）的影响。还测试了年龄和性别的适度。结果表明，人文知识技能和人文精神分别提高了视觉传达和工业设计学生的艺术设计学习成绩。人文能力提高所有学科的艺术和设计学习成绩。此外，我们还发现了个体差异，即男性视觉传达专业学生的人文能力和人文精神的影响要强于女性视觉传达专业学生。根据研究结果，讨论了提高艺术设计学习的人文教育的教学策略。
