Abstract:
The importance of facial information in human communication would be universal, yet the cultural and regional diversity of facial processing is less known. We, an interdisciplinary collaboration between experimental psychologists and fieldworkers, have built a psychological experiment system applicable in various fields outside the laboratory setting and conducted field experiments in various regions including East/Southeast Asia, East and West Africa, and so on. Our study demonstrated the cultural/regional dependency of schematic facial information (e.g., emoji), face pareidolia, and face drawing. Based on these empirical data, I will discuss the diversity of “seeing faces” in humans.
