“…Dissatisfaction with one's own face is a particularly important psychological characteristic of body dissatisfaction. Ayase et al (2022) have developed a new psychometric scale to assess the dissatisfaction with self-face. This scale is named the “Face Dissatisfaction Scale” (hereinafter referred to as the “FDS”).…”

“…The FDS consists of three factors: avoidance factor, fear factor, and obsessive thinking factor, and its reliability and validity have been confirmed in approximately 1,000 general people aged 17 to 42 years. Furthermore, the FDS uses data from 25 people with body dysmorphic disorder and 106 college students, and a cutoff point of 122 points is calculated based on the signal detection theory ( Ayase et al, 2021 ). The FDS is a psychometric scale that can measure individual differences in dissatisfaction with one's face and is expected to play a role as a screening test to identify the pathophysiology of body dysmorphic disorder.…”

Previous studies have shown that individuals visually recognize their eye size as larger than the actual. However, it is unclear whether this cognitive tendency occurs in people with high self-face dissatisfaction. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate whether the cognitive size of one's own and others’ eyes differs according to the degree of self-face dissatisfaction. Participants comprised 32 college students (5 males, 27 females; age: 21.3 ± 2.11) who completed the Face Dissatisfaction Scale (FDS) and a face recognition memory task. The task was to choose whether their or their friends’ eyes in the face photos with changed eye size were larger or smaller than their actual eye size. The cognitively equivalent eye size to the actual one was estimated from a psychophysical function. We conducted a correlation analysis of the total scores on the FDS and the point of subjective equality (PSE) of eye size. We found a high negative correlation between the FDS and the PSE of own eye size. There was also a high positive correlation between the FDS and the PSE for all others’ faces. Thus, high self-face dissatisfaction is differentially associated with cognitive distortions of the face, depending on whether it is self or other.

BackgroundAlthough one's face represents a core aspect of one's physical appearance, it remains underexplored in eating disorder (ED) populations.AimsThe current study examined whether self‐face recognition accuracy and evaluations differ in those at high (vs. low) ED risk. We also explored whether recognition accuracy and evaluations are related, and whether this relationship is moderated by ED risk status.Materials & MethodsParticipants included 222 women of East/Southeast Asian (61%) and Caucasian (39%) ethnicity, stratified into low‐ED‐risk (n = 124) and high‐ED‐risk (n = 98). Participants completed measures of self‐face recognition accuracy (difficulty recognizing their face and sensitivity to seeing their facial image) and evaluations (including perceived facial adiposity and attractiveness, and head dissatisfaction).ResultsPartially consistent with hypotheses, regression analyses revealed that participants at high (vs. low) risk showed poorer self‐face recognition accuracy (greater difficulty) and more negative self‐face evaluations (higher perceived adiposity, lower perceived attractiveness, greater head dissatisfaction). However, ED risk was not significantly associated with self‐face recognition sensitivity. Inconsistent with expectations, whilst greater self‐face recognition difficulty was associated with more negative self‐face evaluations, ED risk failed to moderate such effects.Discussion & ConclusionFindings suggest the potential value of considering face and body image disturbances in ED research and interventions. Further research is encouraged.

Face recognition is a crucial aspect of self-image and social interactions. Previous studies have focused on static images to explore the boundary of self-face recognition. Our research, however, investigates the dynamics of face recognition in contexts involving motor-visual synchrony. We first validated our morphing face metrics for self-face recognition. We then conducted an experiment using state-of-the-art video processing techniques for real-time face identity morphing during facial movement. We examined self-face recognition boundaries under three conditions: synchronous, asynchronous, and static facial movements. Our findings revealed that participants recognized a narrower self-face boundary with moving facial images compared to static ones, with no significant differences between synchronous and asynchronous movements. The direction of morphing consistently biased the recognized self-face boundary. These results suggest that while motor information of the face is vital for self-face recognition, it does not rely on movement synchronization, and the sense of agency over facial movements does not affect facial identity judgment. Our methodology offers a new approach to exploring the ‘self-face boundary in action’, allowing for an independent examination of motion and identity.
