Abstract
In this study, bicultural Latino-Americans were primed either as Latino or American, and read a brief description of the nationality of the Latino and White faces before studying the faces. Latino-Americans primed as Latino exhibited the cross-race effect. In contrast, those primed as American showed no cross-race effect.
