AbstractOwn race faces tend to be recognized more accurately than those of other less familiar races, however, findings to date have been inconclusive. The present study aimed to determine whether Chinese exhibit different recognition accuracy and eye gaze patterns for Asian (own-race) and White (other-race) facial expressions (neutral, happiness, sadness, anger, disgust, fear). A total of 89 healthy Chinese adults viewed Asian and White facial expressions while undergoing eye-tracking and were subsequently required to identify expressions and rate their intensity and effect on arousal. Results revealed that subjects recognized sad expressions in Asian faces better than in White ones. On the other hand, recognition accuracy was higher for White neutral, happy, fearful, and disgusted expressions although this may have been due to subjects more often misclassifying these Asian expressions as sadness. Moreover, subjects viewed the eyes of emotional expressions longer in Asian compared to White faces and the nose of sad ones, especially during the late phase of presentation, whereas pupil sizes, indicative of cognitive load and arousal, were smaller. Eye-gaze patterns were not, however, associated with recognition accuracy. Overall, findings demonstrate an own-race bias in Chinese for identifying sad expressions and more generally across emotional expressions in terms of viewing the eye region of emotional faces for longer and with reduced pupil size. Interestingly, subjects were significantly more likely to miss-identify Asian faces as sad resulting in an apparent other-race bias for recognizing neutral, happy, fearful, and disgusted expressions.
