Abstract

White participants show better recognition of white than black faces, better recognition of angry black faces, and misattribution of black neutral expressions as angry. We demonstrate that these other-race effects are positively correlated during visual discrimination: individuals with stronger OREs in identity also show a stronger angry black bias.
