| As a carrier of the spirit, clothing has become an indispensable part of human life. In daily life, the individual will often make their clothing choices according to the style, color and aesthetic cognition. Among them, the style is a important factor affecting clothing aesthetics. Fashion style is a visual representation, including the silhouette, structure and adornment. The style can express form beauty through different aesthetic principles, of which symmetry has been touted by the fashion designers.The aesthetic researches about Symmetry involve many fields such as buildings,clothing, artistic works, faces etc. Many Scholars from every field have done a lot of researches, but gained controversial conclusions. Have the results show that the symmetrical objects are more beautiful than asymmetric those, but some conclusions on the contrary. The study will explore how symmetry affects the aesthetics of clothing.Besides, the visual art and the diversification trend of clothing contributed the division of individual aesthetic tendency with a certain subjectivity, which leads to the differences of aesthetic feelings of individual. Although literature has involved the symmetric aesthetic on the clothing styles, they were not comprehensive. In addition, most of them were focused on the subjective description based on aesthetic theory, which lack of convincing evidence. Therefore, the purpose of this study systematically explores the influence of symmetric aesthetic of clothing styles by means of behavior and ERP research techniques.On the subject, there are totally five chapters in this article, in which the first chapter describes the researching background and the significance of the topic of article. The second part reviews the relevant aesthetic theory, providing theoretical guarantee for this study. Part in the third chapter is the behavior experiments which contains two experiments.The first one is to explore the influence of a single symmetric element on the clothing aesthetic. The other one is to explore the interaction effects of symmetric elements. The fourth chapter is the ERP experiment, mainly to explore the brain response mechanism ofthe subjects in aesthetic judgment process. The last chapter is the conclusion of this study,where summarizes the influence of the symmetry on clothing aesthetic based on the research.Based on the research, this paper obtained the following important conclusions:(1) The symmetry of adornment has no obvious effect on clothing aesthetic. Under the integral symmetry, the higher the symmetry of the structure line, more beautiful. While the higher the symmetry of the silhouette line, less beautiful.(2)There are no significant interaction effects between the structure line and the silhouette line whether the change direction is consistent or not. It is not significant of the effect of the structure line on clothing aesthetic. But the effect of the silhouette line on clothing aesthetic is significant.The clothes which the change direction of the structure line and silhouette line is inconsistent look more beautiful than those of the consistent direction. However, there are little significant.(3) In the process of aesthetic, the physical stimulus have no obvious effect on the early stages of aesthetic experience, and perceptual processing is the decisive factor that affect the aesthetic evaluation.(4) Compared with asymmetric clothes, the symmetrical clothes induced a larger P2 during the process of aesthetic experience.(5)The brain presents obvious hemisphere partial lateralization in the process of aesthetic experience.With the help of the latest technology of the behavioral science and neuroscience research, the research not only discovers the influence rule of style symmetry on the clothing aesthetic, also prove the brain mechanism of participants during the aesthetic experience in the clothes of symmetry and asymmetry. So this study has higher theoretical and academic value. |
