Abstract

Perceivers recognize pain less readily on Black (vs. White) faces in the United States. The present work investigated whether this perceptual bias is moderated by target weight and gender across three experiments. Anti-Black bias in pain perception was mitigated within heavier-weight (vs. average-weight) male-appearing targets (Experiment 1) but was independent of female-appearing targets’ weight (Experiment 2). A well-powered, pre-registered Experiment 3 replicated these findings, confirming that target weight and gender interactively shaped anti-Black bias in pain perception: target weight moderated perceptual bias within male-appearing (but not female-appearing) faces. These findings help illuminate factors that interact to shape racial bias in pain perception and demonstrate the importance of intersectionality when studying social perceptual biases.

目标体重和性别可调节疼痛感知中的反黑人偏见

在美国，感知者在黑人（与白人）面孔上较难识别疼痛。本研究通过三项实验研究了这种感知偏差是否会受到目标体重和性别的影响。在体重较重（相对于平均体重）的男性出现的目标面前，疼痛感知中的反黑人偏差得到了缓解（实验 1），但与女性出现的目标的体重无关（实验 2）。预先注册的强效实验 3 复制了这些发现，证实了目标体重和性别相互作用，形成了疼痛感知中的反黑人偏差：目标体重调节了男性外观（而非女性外观）面孔的感知偏差。这些发现有助于阐明在疼痛感知中形成种族偏见的相互作用因素，并证明了在研究社会感知偏见时交叉性的重要性。
