Abstract

People experience difficulties recognizing faces of ethnic outgroups, known as the other-race effect. The present eye-tracking study investigates if this effect is related to differences in visual attention to ingroup and outgroup faces. We measured gaze fixations to specific facial features and overall eye-movement activity level during an old/new recognition task comparing ingroup faces with proximal and distal ethnic outgroup faces. Recognition was best for ingroup faces and decreased gradually for proximal and distal outgroup faces. Participants attended more to the eyes of ingroup faces than outgroup faces, but this effect was unrelated to recognition performance. Ingroup-outgroup differences in eye-movement activity level did not emerge during the study phase, but during the recognition phase, with ingroup-outgroup differences varying as a function of recognition accuracy and old/new effects. Overall, ingroup-outgroup effects on recognition performance and eye movements were more pronounced for recognition of new items, emphasizing the role of retrieval processes.

(眼)追踪其他种族效应:内群体面孔编码和识别过程中眼球运动与近、远外群体面孔的比较

人们在识别种族外群体的面孔时会遇到困难，这被称为其他种族效应。目前的眼动追踪研究调查了这种影响是否与对组内和组外面孔的视觉注意力差异有关。我们测量了在新旧识别任务中对特定面部特征的注视和整体眼动活动水平，比较了组内面孔与近端和远端种族外面孔。组内人脸识别效果最好，组外近端和远端人脸识别效果逐渐下降。参与者更多地关注组内面孔的眼睛而不是组外面孔，但这种影响与识别性能无关。眼动活动水平的组内外差异在研究阶段没有出现，但在识别阶段，组内外差异随着识别准确性和新旧效应的变化而变化。总体而言，对于新项目的识别，组内-组外对识别性能和眼动的影响更为明显，强调了检索过程的作用。

期刊介绍： An excellent resource for researchers as well as students, Social Cognition features reports on empirical research, self-perception, self-concept, social neuroscience, person-memory integration, social schemata, the development of social cognition, and the role of affect in memory and perception. Three broad concerns define the scope of the journal: - The processes underlying the perception, memory, and judgment of social stimuli - The effects of social, cultural, and affective factors on the processing of information The behavioral and interpersonal consequences of cognitive processes.
