Abstract

Previous cross-cultural eye-tracking studies examining face recognition discovered differences in the eye movement strategies that observers employ when perceiving faces. However, it is unclear (1) the degree to which this effect is fundamentally related to culture and (2) to what extent facial physiognomy can account for the differences in looking strategies when scanning own- and other-race faces. In the current study, Malay, Chinese and Indian young adults who live in the same multiracial country performed a modified yes/no recognition task. Participants' recognition accuracy and eye movements were recorded while viewing muted face videos of own- and other-race individuals. Behavioural results revealed a clear own-race advantage in recognition memory, and eye-tracking results showed that the three ethnic race groups adopted dissimilar fixation patterns when perceiving faces. Chinese participants preferentially attended more to the eyes than Indian participants did, while Indian participants made more and longer fixations on the nose than Malay participants did. In addition, we detected statistically significant, though subtle, differences in fixation patterns between the faces of the three races. These findings suggest that the racial differences in face-scanning patterns may be attributed both to culture and to variations in facial physiognomy between races.

他们“看起来”不同吗?马来西亚人的动态面部识别:华人,马来人和印度人的比较
之前的跨文化眼动追踪研究发现,观察者在感知人脸时采用的眼动策略存在差异。然而,目前尚不清楚的是:(1)这种效应在多大程度上与文化有关;(2)在多大程度上,面部面相可以解释在扫描本种族和其他种族面孔时寻找策略的差异。在目前的研究中,生活在同一个多种族国家的马来人、华人和印度年轻人执行了一个修改过的是/否识别任务。研究人员记录了参与者在观看本种族和其他种族的无声人脸视频时的识别准确性和眼球运动。行为实验结果显示,三种种族在识别记忆方面存在明显的种族优势,眼动追踪结果显示,三种种族在识别人脸时采用不同的注视模式。中国参与者比印度参与者更倾向于关注眼睛,而印度参与者比马来人更关注鼻子。此外,我们发现三个种族的面孔在注视模式上存在统计学意义上的细微差异。这些发现表明,面部扫描模式的种族差异可能归因于文化和种族之间面部特征的差异。
