Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Nowadays museums make large use of digital materials (e.g., virtual tours) to attract visitors. Therefore, it is worthwhile investigating which variables affect the engagement with art outside the museum, and whether digital reproductions of artworks are as effective as museum originals in producing a satisfying aesthetic experience.
UNASSIGNED: Here we tested the effectiveness of introducing additional informative materials on the artistic enjoyment of contemporary paintings presented on a computer screen. Naïve observers were exposed to essential and descriptive labels before viewing artworks. We flanked traditional measurement methods - viewing times and questionnaires, with biometric parameters - pupil responses, eye movements, heart rate, and electrodermal activity. The results were then compared to our previous museum study that adopted the same experimental paradigm.
UNASSIGNED: Our behavioral and psychophysiological data lead to a complex pattern of results. As found in the museum setting, providing detailed descriptions decreases complexity, evokes more positive sensations, and induces pupil dilation but does not enhance aesthetic appreciation. These results suggested that informative labels improve understanding and emotions but have a limited impact on the hedonic evaluation of artworks in both contexts. However, other results do not mirror those found in the museum; in the laboratory setting, participants spend a similar amount of time, have a comparable gaze behavior, and their electrodermal activity and heart rate do not change when viewing artworks with different types of labels. The main difference between the lab and museum settings is the shorter time spent viewing digital reproductions vs. real paintings, although subjective ratings (e.g., liking, interest) are comparable.
UNASSIGNED: Overall, this study indicates that the environmental context does impact the aesthetic experience; although, some beneficial effects of introducing additional relevant content in labels accompanying artworks can also be acquainted through digital media outside of the museum.

摘要：
■如今，博物馆大量使用数字资料(例如，虚拟旅游)来吸引游客。因此,值得调查哪些变量会影响博物馆外艺术的参与，以及艺术品的数字复制品在产生令人满意的审美体验方面是否与博物馆原件一样有效。
■在这里，我们测试了在计算机屏幕上呈现的当代绘画的艺术享受中引入其他信息材料的有效性。在观看艺术品之前，幼稚的观察者会接触到基本的描述性标签。我们取代了传统的测量方法——观看时间和问卷，使用生物特征参数-瞳孔反应，眼球运动,心率,和皮肤电活动。然后将结果与我们以前采用相同实验范式的博物馆研究进行比较。
■我们的行为和心理生理数据导致了复杂的结果模式。正如在博物馆环境中发现的那样，提供详细的描述降低了复杂性，唤起更多积极的感觉，并引起瞳孔扩张，但不会增强审美。这些结果表明，信息标签可以改善理解和情绪，但在两种情况下对艺术品的享乐评估的影响有限。然而,其他结果并不反映在博物馆中发现的结果；在实验室环境中，参与者花费相似的时间，有类似的凝视行为，当观看带有不同类型标签的艺术品时，它们的皮肤电活动和心率不会改变。实验室和博物馆设置之间的主要区别是观看数字复制品的时间较短。真实的绘画,虽然主观评级(例如，喜欢,兴趣)是可比的。
■总的来说，这项研究表明，环境语境确实会影响审美体验；尽管，通过博物馆外的数字媒体也可以了解在伴随艺术品的标签中引入额外相关内容的一些有益效果。
