The present study explored the characteristics of social categorization based on the unidimensional variation of gender or age using the Garner's Selective Attention Paradigm. The task of the experiment was to judge whether there was a mole on a person's face, and the results showed that young participants' response times were slower when the age or gender of the face stimuli varied, demonstrating that young people, rather than older people, can activate both an age category and a gender category automatically. Meanwhile, all participants' responses to the old faces were slower than that to the young faces. Females reacted faster than males, demonstrating that females tend to have an advantage for face processing.
本研究使用加纳选择性注意范式，探讨了基于性别或年龄单维变化的社会分类特征。实验任务是判断一个人脸上是否有痣，结果表明，当面部刺激的年龄或性别发生变化时，年轻参与者的反应时间较慢，这表明年轻人而非老年人能够自动激活年龄类别和性别类别。同时，所有参与者对老年面孔的反应都比对年轻面孔的反应慢。女性的反应比男性快，这表明女性在面部处理方面往往具有优势。
