本研究采用视觉偏好程序对只接触中国面孔的3个月大的中国婴儿进行了不同种族（非洲人、亚洲人、高加索人和中东人）面孔偏好的研究。这些婴儿表现出对自己种族面孔的偏好。先前的研究结果表明，只接触白人面孔的白人婴儿更喜欢同种族的面孔（Kelly et al., 2005），只接触本土面孔的白人和非洲婴儿更喜欢同种族的面孔，而不是其他种族的面孔（Bar-Haim, Ziv, Lamy, & Hodes, 2006），这里报告的研究结果(a)将在幼儿中观察到的同种族偏好扩展到一个新的婴儿种族（中国）。(b)表明，跨种族对同种族面孔的偏好超出了非洲人和高加索人面孔在感知上的强烈对比。
A visual preference procedure was used to examine preferences among faces of different ethnicities (African, Asian, Caucasian, and Middle Eastern) in Chinese 3-month-old infants exposed only to Chinese faces. The infants demonstrated a preference for faces from their own ethnic group. Alongside previous results showing that Caucasian infants exposed only to Caucasian faces prefer same-race faces (Kelly et al., 2005) and that Caucasian and African infants exposed only to native faces prefer the same over the other-race faces (Bar-Haim, Ziv, Lamy, & Hodes, 2006), the findings reported here (a) extend the same-race preference observed in young infants to a new race of infants (Chinese), and (b) show that cross-race preferences for same-race faces extend beyond the perceptually robust contrast between African and Caucasian faces.
