Using a digital environment, this study tested how setting (museum vs. street), reputation (established vs. unestablished), and style (abstract vs. representational) affected people's aesthetic perception of art. Art novices, quasi-experts, and experts were randomly assigned to rate paintings that varied in setting, reputation, and style. Although there was no significant main effect of setting, follow-up pairwise comparisons showed that novices gave higher aesthetic judgment to paintings in street settings. There was a significant interaction between reputation, style, and expertise, such that the greater the expertise, the greater the differences in ratings between established and unestablished paintings, and the smaller the differences between abstract and representational style paintings. Quasi-experts and experts gave higher ratings to established rather than unestablished paintings, and all groups preferred representational over abstract style; however, the expert preferences reversed with unestablished paintings. The study found that the effect of reputation and expertise persisted after controlling for painting familiarity.

背景和绘画属性如何影响跨专业的审美判断


这项研究使用数字环境，测试了环境（博物馆与街道）、声誉（成熟与未成熟）和风格（抽象与具象）如何影响人们对艺术的审美认知。艺术新手、准专家和专家被随机分配对不同背景、声誉和风格的画作进行评分。尽管设置没有显着的主效应，但后续的两两比较表明，新手对街头设置的绘画具有更高的审美判断力。声誉、风格和专业知识之间存在显着的相互作用，专业知识越多，成熟绘画和未成熟绘画之间的评级差异就越大，而抽象风格和具象风格绘画之间的差异就越小。准专家和专家对已确立的绘画的评价高于未确立的绘画，所有群体都更喜欢具象风格而不是抽象风格；然而，专家们对未经证实的绘画的偏好却发生了逆转。研究发现，在控制绘画熟悉度后，声誉和专业知识的影响仍然存在。
