Previous studies have shown that social categorization can induce an own-group face recognition bias. However, similar and better other-group face recognition emerged recently. In this research, we aimed to examine whether competitive cues and group status accompanied by social categorization can modulate the inter-group face recognition bias. Moreover, we investigated how the group identification of individuals with different statuses affected the inter-group face recognition bias. The results indicated that an own-group face recognition bias emerged for targets with in-group labels compared to out-group labels. Moreover, when the group labels signaled competitive cues, the own-group face recognition bias was reversed. Furthermore, low-status and similar-status individuals exhibited out-group face recognition bias, but high-status individuals did not. In addition, the higher the in-group identification scores of participants from the low-status group, the stronger the out-group face recognition bias. These results suggested that competitive cues would reverse the own-group face recognition bias and the group status would play a modulating role in face recognition bias.
先前的研究表明，社会分类会引发内群体面孔识别偏差。然而，近期出现了相似且更优的外群体面孔识别情况。在本研究中，我们旨在探究伴随社会分类的竞争线索和群体地位是否能够调节群体间面孔识别偏差。此外，我们研究了不同地位个体的群体认同如何影响群体间面孔识别偏差。结果表明，与带有外群体标签的目标相比，带有内群体标签的目标出现了内群体面孔识别偏差。此外，当群体标签传达竞争线索时，内群体面孔识别偏差会发生逆转。此外，低地位个体和地位相似的个体表现出外群体面孔识别偏差，但高地位个体则没有。另外，低地位群体参与者的内群体认同得分越高，外群体面孔识别偏差就越强。这些结果表明，竞争线索会逆转内群体面孔识别偏差，且群体地位会在面孔识别偏差中发挥调节作用。
