Abstract

Introduction

In order to understand implicit biases, we examined participants’ preconscious neural activity when viewing photos of differing racial combinations of same-sex male couples.

Method

P200 amplitudes measured preconscious neural activity while viewing photo stimuli.

Result

Participants engaged in preconscious categorization of all three types of photo stimuli. The largest P200 amplitudes appeared when viewing photos of Black gay couples, followed by White-Black gay couples, then White gay couples.

Conclusion

Individuals begin to categorize same-sex couples by their racial makeup as early as 200 milliseconds. Evidence of preconscious categorization may be helpful in dispelling inaccuracies of using a colorblindness approach to counseling and supervision.

前意识分类会影响其他人对异族同性伴侣的看法：对咨询和监督的影响

摘要

介绍

为了了解隐性偏见，我们检查了参与者在查看同性男性伴侣不同种族组合的照片时的前意识神经活动。

方法

P200 振幅在查看照片刺激时测量前意识神经活动。

结果

参与者对所有三种类型的照片刺激进行了前意识分类。最大的 P200 幅度出现在查看黑人同性恋夫妇的照片时，其次是白人-黑人同性恋夫妇，然后是白人同性恋夫妇。

结论

早在 200 毫秒，人们就开始根据种族构成对同性伴侣进行分类。前意识分类的证据可能有助于消除使用色盲方法进行咨询和监督的不准确之处。
