Abstract：
Impressions of trustworthiness are formed quickly from faces. To what extent are these impressions shared among observers of the same or different races? Although high consensus of trustworthiness evaluation has been consistently reported, recent studies suggested substantial individual differences. For instance, negative implicit racial bias and low contact experience towards individuals of the other race have been shown to be related to low trustworthiness judgments for other-race faces. This pre-registered study further examined the effects of implicit social bias and experience on trustworthiness judgments of other-race faces. A relatively large sample of White (N = 338) and Black (N = 299) participants completed three tasks: a trustworthiness rating task of faces, a race implicit association test, and a questionnaire of experience. Each participant rated trustworthiness of 100 White faces and 100 Black faces. We found that the overall trustworthiness ratings for other-race faces were influenced by both implicit bias and experience with individuals of the other-race. Nonetheless, when comparing to the own-race baseline ratings, high correlations were observed for the relative differences in trustworthiness ratings of other-race faces for participants with varied levels of implicit bias and experience. These results suggest differential impact of social concepts (e.g., implicit bias, experience) vs. instinct (e.g., decision of approach-vs-avoid) on trustworthiness impressions, as revealed by overall vs. relative ratings on other-race faces.
摘要：
可信度的印象很快就会从面孔中形成。相同或不同种族的观察者之间在多大程度上共享这些印象？尽管一直有关于可信度评估的高度共识的报道，最近的研究表明，个体差异很大。例如,负面的隐性种族偏见和对其他种族的个人的低接触经验已被证明与其他种族面孔的低可信度判断有关。这项预先注册的研究进一步研究了隐含的社会偏见和经验对其他种族面孔的可信度判断的影响。白人（N=338）和黑人（N=299）参与者的相对较大样本完成了三项任务：人脸的可信度评级任务，种族内隐联想测验，和一份经验问卷。每位参与者对100张白脸和100张黑脸的可信度进行了评分。我们发现，其他种族面孔的整体可信度受到内隐偏见和其他种族个人经验的影响。尽管如此，当与自己的种族基线评级进行比较时，对于具有不同水平的内隐偏见和经验的参与者,其他种族面孔的可信度等级的相对差异观察到高度相关.这些结果表明社会概念的不同影响(例如，隐性偏见，经验)与本能(例如，方法与避免的决定)关于可信度印象的决定，如总体与其他种族面孔的相对评级。
