两项研究测试了种族类别标签和对人类特征的普遍信念是否对人们对种族模糊面孔的感知和记忆产生综合影响。参与者看到一张变形的目标脸，并附有种族标签（黑人或螨虫）。后来，他们被要求从一组两张新的变形面孔中识别出这张脸，一张比目标更黑，另一张更白。正如预测的那样，实体理论家认为特征是不可改变的，感知并记住目标面孔与种族标签一致，而增量理论学家认为特征是可塑的，感知并记住目标面孔与种族标签不一致。在研究 2 中，参与者还绘制了与种族标签更加一致（实体理论家）或更不一致（增量理论家）的目标面孔。两项研究的结果都证实，社会变量会影响人们对身体特征的看法和记忆。
Two studies tested whether racial category labels and lay beliefs about human traits have a combined effect on people's perception of, and memory for, racially ambiguous faces. Participants saw a morphed target face accompanied by a racial label (Black or Mite). Later, they were asked to identify the face from a set of two new morphed faces, one more Black and the other more White than the target. As predicted, entity theorists, who believe traits are immutable, perceived and remembered the target face as consistent with the racial label, whereas incremental theorists, who believe traits are malleable, perceived and remembered the face as inconsistent with the racial label. In Study 2, participants also drew the target face more consistently (entity theorists) or less consistently (incremental theorists) with the racial label. Results of both studies confirm that social variables can affect how physical features are seen and remembered.
