从拓宽和构建理论推断，我们假设积极情绪可以减少面部识别中的种族偏见。在实验1和2中，白人参与者（N = 89）看到黑色和白色面孔的识别任务。在任务的学习（实验1）或测试（实验2）阶段之前，他们观看了引发喜悦、恐惧或中立的视频。结果可靠地支持了这一假设。相对于恐惧或中性状态，在这两个阶段之前经历的快乐改善了对黑人面孔的识别，并显着降低了自己的种族偏见。讨论集中在减少本族偏见的可能机制上，包括改善整体处理和促进由于积极情绪而产生的共同群体认同。
Extrapolating from the broaden-and-build theory, we hypothesized that positive emotion may reduce the own-race bias in facial recognition. In Experiments 1 and 2, Caucasian participants (N = 89) viewed Black and White faces for a recognition task. They viewed videos eliciting joy, fear, or neutrality before the learning (Experiment 1) or testing (Experiment 2) stages of the task. Results reliably supported the hypothesis. Relative to fear or a neutral state, joy experienced before either stage improved recognition of Black faces and significantly reduced the own-race bias. Discussion centers on possible mechanisms for this reduction of the own-race bias, including improvements in holistic processing and promotion of a common in-group identity due to positive emotions.
