我们的研究探讨了交叉的种族和性别身份是否会影响人们的认知。来自美国东北部一所大型大学的以白人为主的本科生 (292) 对黑人和白人男性和女性的图片（研究 1）和视频（研究 2）进行了分类和评分。我们支持三个假设：1）交叉性影响人的感知过程，导致黑人女性的性别分类错误； 2) “黑人”和“男性”与黑人男性和女性目标高度相关； 3）女性被认为缺乏吸引力与其男性气质成正比，导致黑人女性被认为不如其他女性有吸引力。我们建议需要采用交叉方法才能充分理解人们的感知。此外，黑人/男性协会可能会给黑人女性带来独特的伤害。
Our research examines whether intersecting racial and gender identities affect person perception. Predominantly White undergraduates (292) from a large northeastern U.S. university categorized and rated pictures (Study 1) and videos (Study 2) of Black and White men and women. We supported three hypotheses: 1) intersectionality affects person perception processes, leading to gender categorization errors for Black women; 2) "Blackness" and "maleness" are highly associated for Black male and female targets; and, 3) women are perceived as unattractive proportionally to their perceived masculinity, leading Black women to be rated as less attractive than other women. We suggest that intersectional approaches are required in order to fully understand person perception. Further, the Black/male association may lead to unique harms for Black women.
