Abstract 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.

改变面部畸形患者的负面看法：简短干预的有效性

摘要 面部毁容者的简短个人叙述能否增强对其技能和个性的认知？主要来自欧洲和美国的参与者（n = 224）在线完成了研究。四个实验条件呈现视频剪辑或音频配乐，涉及积极信息或克服逆境的信息。在控制条件下，参与者观看静止的面部照片。与静态照片相比，个人叙述增强了对社交能力和韧性、情绪稳定性、领导力和建立关系的成功以及对未来互动的期望的评估。实验条件彼此没有区别。
