采用“学习-再认”范式,让99名在人口统计学上与汉族不同接触程度的维族大学生再认维汉面孔,并填写社会接触和个性化经验量表,以考察本族效应是否能从种族间拓展到种族内不同民族间,以及群际接触的质和量对本族效应的影响。结果显示,维族大学生中与汉族中低接触者本族效应显著,高接触者未出现本族效应;接触量与个性化经验都与本族效应的幅度显著负相关;且相对优势分析表明个性化经验比接触量更能影响本族效应。
The well - known own - race effect (ORE) in facial recognition is regarded as better recognition for faces of one's own race than others. Lots of research focuses on the relationship between the own - race effect and inter - group contact by comparing the white race faces with others, and generate inconsistent results. Based on the above reasoning, the current study is to explore whether the own -race effect can be extended to the individuals who are racially homogeneous but from different ethnic groups. The influence of the quantity and the quality of inter - group contact on the degree of the own - race effect has also been discussed. On the basis of population distribution and patterns of inter - group contact, 99 Uygur college students from different regions were recruited as the participants. First, they were requested to recognize the Uygur and Han faces by using the "learning - recognition" par- adigm. Face stimuli were 40 female face photographs (20 Han and 20 Uygur) without outer face features. During the study, the partici- pants looked at a series of 20 faces ( 10 Han and 10 Uygnr) presented randomly on the screen. Each face was shown for 2 sec with an interval of 1 sec. The participants were requested to remember the faces. At testing, all 40 faces were presented randomly. The partici- pants were asked to judge whether the faces were new or old, and the computer recorded the reflex index of each participant. Then they were asked to answer the Social Contact Questionnaire and the Individuating Experience Questionnaire ( Walker & Hewstone, 2006a) to assess self- reported quantity and quality of contact. The results of repeated measures ANOVAs show a generalized own - race effect for the Uygurs. The dependent variables, such as accuracy rates, reaction times, hit rates, discrimination accuracy and response criterion, demonstrate a significant own - race advantage for the Uygnrs. The Uygurs with minimum interracial contact have the lowest accuracy rates but the highest false alar
