Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Manga includes a variety of different information in panels (depicted objects, word bubbles, onomatopoeias, etc.) and hence, when reading, readers are supposed to engage in high-order cognitive abilities. Many studies have shown that individual differences in these abilities have an impact on reading behavior. Therefore, we could assume that individual variability could emerge in visual exploration of manga reading. To test this assumption, we eye-tracked participants when free reading manga and analyzed these gaze data in relation to the readers' personality traits and cognitive styles. Results showed that the eye-movement parameters observed during manga reading were stable over time and consistent among diverse materials. In addition, some eye-movement parameters were found to have significant relationships with some personality dimensions and cognitive styles, implying the possibility of identifying individual differences based on how readers move their eyes during manga reading.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
マンガを読む際の視線の動きが読み手の性格特性や認知特性と関連することが明らかになった。本研究の成果は、これまでほとんど明らかにされていないマンガ読みの認知メカニズムの解明に寄与するだけでなく、マンガを利用した性格テストや自閉症傾向等の簡易スクリーニングテストの開発につながることが期待される。
