According to much research, the Own Group Bias (OGB) in face memory occurs as a consequence of social categorization - ingroup members are more likely than outgroup members to be encoded as individuals and remembered well. The current work is an examination of the role of anticipated future interaction in the OGB. We conducted two studies showing that anticipated interaction influences group-based face memory. In Study 1, we provided correlational evidence that beliefs about the amount and importance of future interaction one will have with racial outgroup members is associated with the OGB, such that people expecting more interaction with outgroup members show a reduced OGB. In Study 2, we manipulated expectations about future interactions with lab-created groups and observed that high levels of anticipated future interaction with the outgroup eliminated the OGB. Thus, social group categorization drives face memory biases to the extent that group membership affords the expectation of interpersonal interaction.
根据大量研究，面部记忆中的内群体偏见（OGB）是社会分类的结果——与外群体成员相比，内群体成员更有可能被编码为个体并被清晰记住。当前的研究是对预期未来互动在OGB中所起作用的考察。我们进行了两项研究，结果表明预期互动会影响基于群体的面部记忆。在研究1中，我们提供了相关证据，即关于一个人未来与种族外群体成员互动的数量和重要性的信念与OGB相关，也就是说，预期与外群体成员有更多互动的人表现出的OGB有所减少。在研究2中，我们操纵了对与实验室创建的群体未来互动的预期，并观察到与外群体的高水平预期未来互动消除了OGB。因此，社会群体分类在一定程度上驱动了面部记忆偏差，即群体成员身份带来了人际互动的预期。
