A visual preference procedure was used to examine preferences among faces of different ethnicities (African, Asian, Caucasian, and Middle Eastern) in Chinese 3-month-old infants exposed only to Chinese faces. The infants demonstrated a preference for faces from their own ethnic group. Alongside previous results showing that Caucasian infants exposed only to Caucasian faces prefer same-race faces (Kelly et al., 2005) and that Caucasian and African infants exposed only to native faces prefer the same over the other-race faces (Bar-Haim, Ziv, Lamy, & Hodes, 2006), the findings reported here (a) extend the same-race preference observed in young infants to a new race of infants (Chinese), and (b) show that cross-race preferences for same-race faces extend beyond the perceptually robust contrast between African and Caucasian faces.
采用视觉偏好程序，对仅接触过中国人面孔的3个月大中国婴儿在不同种族（非洲、亚洲、高加索和中东）面孔之间的偏好进行了研究。这些婴儿表现出对自己种族面孔的偏好。此前有研究结果表明，仅接触过白种人面孔的白种人婴儿更喜欢同种族面孔（凯利等人，2005年），以及仅接触过本土面孔的白种人和非洲婴儿更喜欢同种族面孔而非其他种族面孔（巴尔-海姆、齐夫、拉米和霍兹，2006年），此处报告的研究结果：（a）将在幼儿中观察到的同种族偏好扩展到了一个新的婴儿种族（中国人）；（b）表明对同种族面孔的跨种族偏好超出了非洲人和白种人面孔之间在感知上明显的差异。
