两项针对学龄前儿童的研究考察了知觉个性化训练在减少种族偏见方面的有效性（研究1，N = 32;研究2，N = 56）。我们发现，训练学龄前儿童个性化其他种族的面孔导致减少内隐种族偏见，而仅仅暴露于其他种族的面孔没有产生这样的效果。我们还发现，无论是个性化训练还是单纯的暴露，都不能减少明显的种族偏见。从理论上讲，我们的研究结果提供了强有力的证据，个人层面的面孔加工和内隐种族偏见之间的因果关系，并与新提出的知觉社会联系假说。实际上，我们的研究结果表明，为儿童提供经验，让他们增加他们在处理个别其他种族面孔方面的专业知识，将有助于减少他们的隐性种族偏见。
Two studies with preschool-age children examined the effectiveness of perceptual individuation training at reducing racial bias (Study 1, N = 32; Study 2, N = 56). We found that training preschool-age children to individuate other-race faces resulted in a reduction in implicit racial bias while mere exposure to other-race faces produced no such effect. We also showed that neither individuation training nor mere exposure reduced explicit racial bias. Theoretically, our findings provide strong evidence for a causal link between individual-level face processing and implicit racial bias, and are consistent with the newly proposed perceptual-social linkage hypothesis. Practically, our findings suggest that offering children experiences that allow them to increase their expertise in processing individual other-race faces will help reduce their implicit racial bias.
