以前的研究已经报道，3到4个月大的婴儿表现出对与其主要照顾者相同性别的面孔的视觉偏好(例如)。此外，这种性别偏好在自己的种族面孔上也观察到了，但在其他种族的面孔上却没有。然而，关于面孔性别偏好的研究大多集中在3-4个月大的婴儿身上。婴儿期后期性别偏好的发展仍不清楚。此外，所有这些研究都是对来自西方国家的高加索婴儿进行的。因此，尚不清楚仅限于自己种族面孔的性别偏好是否可以推广到来自其他种族群体和具有不同照料做法的不同文化的婴儿。目前的研究调查了3个月、6个月和9个月时来自亚洲和高加索种族的男性和女性面孔对的亚洲婴儿的面部性别偏好，以及照看安排在导致这些偏好方面的作用。结果显示，在3个月和6个月大的婴儿中，女性对自己种族的面孔有偏好，但在9个月大的婴儿中则不是。此外，女性面孔偏好的下降与在照看实践中获得的累积男性面孔经验有关。相比之下，在任何年龄的其他种族的高加索面孔中，没有发现性别偏好或性别偏好与面孔体验之间的相关性。数据表明，脸部性别偏好并不是具体植根于西方文化中的照看做法。此外，以前观察到的对高加索婴儿的影响的种族依赖性，也延伸到了亚洲照顾者抚养的亚洲婴儿，这些婴儿的养育对象是白人而不是亚洲人。这些发现还为性别偏好的经验基础提供了额外的支持，特别是表明，累积的男性面孔经验在导致较大婴儿的偏好下降方面发挥了作用。
Previous studies have reported that 3- to 4-month-olds show a visual preference for faces of the same gender as their primary caregiver (e.g.,). In addition, this gender preference has been observed for own-race faces, but not for other-race faces. However, most of the studies of face gender preference have focused on infants at 3–4 months. Development of gender preference in later infancy is still unclear. Moreover, all of these studies were conducted with Caucasian infants from Western countries. It is thus unknown whether a gender preference that is limited to own-race faces can be generalized to infants from other racial groups and different cultures with distinct caregiving practices. The current study investigated the face gender preferences of Asian infants presented with male versus female face pairs from Asian and Caucasian races at 3, 6, and 9 months and the role of caregiving arrangements in eliciting those preferences. The results showed an own-race female face preference in 3- and 6-month-olds, but not in 9-month-olds. Moreover, the downturn in the female face preference correlated with the cumulative male face experience obtained in caregiving practices. In contrast, no gender preference or correlation between gender preference and face experience was found for other-race Caucasian faces at any age. The data indicate that the face gender preference is not specifically rooted in Western cultural caregiving practices. In addition, the race dependency of the effect previously observed for Caucasian infants reared by Caucasian caregivers looking at Caucasian but not Asian faces extends to Asian infants reared by Asian caregivers looking at Asian but not Caucasian faces. The findings also provide additional support for an experiential basis for the gender preference, and in particular suggest that cumulative male face experience plays a role in inducing a downturn in the preference in older infants.
