Can a brief personal narrative by an individual with facial disfigurement enhance perceptions of their skills and personality? Participants (n = 224) mainly from Europe and the USA completed the study online. Four experimental conditions presented either a video clip or the audio soundtrack, relating either a positive message or a message about overcoming adversity. In the control condition, participants viewed a still facial photograph. Evaluations of sociability and resilience, emotional stability, leadership, and success in forming relationships, and expectations regarding future interactions, were all enhanced by the personal narratives compared to the still photograph. Experimental conditions did not differ from each other. It appears that a brief online intervention can be effective in encouraging future contact with individuals with facial disfigurement.

面部容貌受损的人的简短个人叙事能否增强他们对其技能和个性的认识？参加人数 = 224）（主要来自欧洲和美国）在线完成了研究。四个实验条件提供了一个视频剪辑或一个音频声道，与一个积极的信息或关于克服逆境的信息相关。在对照条件下，参与者观看了静止的面部照片。与静态图片相比，个人叙事增强了对社交能力和复原力，情绪稳定性，领导能力以及建立关系的成功率以及对未来互动的期望的评估。实验条件互不相同。看来，简短的在线干预可以有效地鼓励将来与面部畸形个体进行接触。
