Abstract
Research replicated the result of a laboratory study (Masuda, Gonzalez, Kwan and Nisbett, 2008) that Asian-Americans prefer 'portrait' photographs depicting more background than European-Americans. This finding was extended to a natural setting where participants took photographs of confederates, believing it was part of a Photography class project.
