Processing relationship between ethnic group information and emotional information and the influence of social contact degree in face recognition
Ninety-eight Tibetan students participated in this investigation that focused on the relationship between ethnicity and emotion during facial recognition.Recognition of Han Chinese faces was tested using the Learning-Recognition paradigm under different levels of social exposure to Han Chinese.Results showed that:(1)Ethnicity and emotional information were processed independently when social contact levels were low;Ethnic information processing was not affected by emotional information and an other-race effect were observed;(2)When social contact levels were high,ethnicity processing was affected by emotional information and the other-race effect was reversed.Because the dimensions in two-dimensional information processing during facial recognition do not have a fixed relationship,both facial information and the level of social contact between individuals should be considered when investigating face recogni-tion.
