以前的研究已经调查了现有的社会态度如何影响我们“分享”他们的身体经验的方式，例如对疼痛的同情和感觉运动映射。在这里，我们问是否有可能改变内隐的种族态度，通过实验增加自我，其他身体重叠。采用一种被称为“橡胶手错觉”的身体错觉，我们向浅色皮肤的白人参与者提供多感官刺激，以诱导深色皮肤的手属于他们的感觉。然后，我们测量了这是否可以改变他们对深色皮肤的人的隐性种族偏见。在两个实验中，参与者对深色皮肤橡胶手的所有权错觉越强烈，他们的内隐种族态度就越积极。重要的是，改变内隐态度的并不是多感官刺激的模式本身，而是身体所有权的主观体验的变化。这些研究结果表明，通过虚幻的所有权诱导自我和他人身体之间的重叠是改变和减少对外群消极内隐态度的有效途径。
Previous studies have investigated how existing social attitudes towards other races affect the way we ‘share’ their bodily experiences, for example in empathy for pain, and sensorimotor mapping. Here, we ask whether it is possible to alter implicit racial attitudes by experimentally increasing self-other bodily overlap. Employing a bodily illusion known as the ‘Rubber Hand Illusion’, we delivered multisensory stimulation to light-skinned Caucasian participants to induce the feeling that a dark-skinned hand belonged to them. We then measured whether this could change their implicit racial biases against people with dark skin. Across two experiments, the more intense the participants’ illusion of ownership over the dark-skinned rubber hand, the more positive their implicit racial attitudes became. Importantly, it was not the pattern of multisensory stimulation per se, but rather, it was the change in the subjective experience of body ownership that altered implicit attitudes. These findings suggest that inducing an overlap between the bodies of self and other through illusory ownership is an effective way to change and reduce negative implicit attitudes towards outgroups.
