Ethnic out-group members are disproportionately more often the victim of misidentifications. The so-called other-race effect (ORE), the tendency to better remember faces of individuals belonging to one’s own ethnic in-group than faces belonging to an ethnic out-group, has been identified as one causal ingredient in such tragic incidents. Investigating an important aspect for the ORE—that is, emotional expression—the seminal study by Ackerman and colleagues (2006) found that White participants remembered neutral White faces better than neutral Black faces, but crucially, Black angry faces were better remembered than White angry faces (i.e., a reversed ORE). In the current study, we sought to replicate this study and directly tackle the potential causes for different results with later work. Three hundred ninety-six adult White U.S. citizens completed our study in which we manipulated the kind of employed stimuli (as in the original study vs. more standardized ones) whether participants knew of the recognition task already at the encoding phase. Additionally, participants were asked about the unusualness of the presented faces. We were able to replicate results from the Ackerman et al. (2006) study with the original stimuli but not with more standardized stimuli.

除非他们生气，否则他们看起来会一样吗？研究愤怒表情下的其他种族效应

外族裔成员更容易成为错误身份的受害者。所谓的其他种族效应（ORE），即人们更容易记住属于自己种族内群体的人的面孔，而不是属于外民族群体的面孔，已被认为是此类悲剧事件的因果因素之一。阿克曼及其同事 (2006) 的开创性研究对 ORE 的一个重要方面进行了调查，即情绪表达，发现白人参与者对中性白人面孔的记忆比中性黑人面孔更好，但至关重要的是，黑人愤怒的面孔比白人愤怒的面孔更容易被记住面（即反转的 ORE）。在当前的研究中，我们试图复制这项研究，并通过以后的工作直接解决不同结果的潜在原因。三百九十六名成年美国白人公民完成了我们的研究，在这项研究中，我们操纵了所使用的刺激类型（如原始研究与更标准化的刺激），无论参与者是否知道编码阶段已经存在的识别任务。此外，参与者还被问及所呈现的面孔的不寻常之处。我们能够复制阿克曼等人的结果。(2006) 使用原始刺激进行研究，但不使用更标准化的刺激。
