Abstract
The ability of black American and black African men to recognize previously seen white male faces was assessed. Relationships between recognition, performance scores and quality of interracial experience were also examined. Black American participants ( n = 10) performed significantly better and made fewer false responses than the Nigerian participants ( n = 10). Significant positive relationships were found between performance scores and interracial experience. Differential use of cues for discriminatng white male faces by both groups was also found.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
