“…For example, di Oleggio Castello et al (2017) observed that Caucasian individuals demonstrated a shorter searching time for a familiar target compared with an unfamiliar target in a visual search task. A similar pattern has also been reported for Asian participants ( Zhang & Zhou, 2019 ). Therefore, we expected that, regardless of the race of participants, the self-face and the friend’s face will have a familiarity advantage compared with the unfamiliar face.…”

“…Contradicting our hypothesis and findings from previous studies (e.g., Liew et al, 2011 ; Sui et al, 2009 ; Zhang & Zhou, 2019 ), our findings showed that the search for self-faces was not influenced by the cultural differences in self-concept. Our findings showed that British Caucasian participants searched the self-face faster than Malaysian Chinese participants across both present and absent trials, but British Caucasian participants also searched the friend’s and unfamiliar faces faster (and more accurately) than Malaysian Chinese participants.…”

The self-face advantage (SFA) is reflected through a faster recognition of a self-face compared to familiar and unfamiliar faces. Nevertheless, as Westerners and East Asians tend to present differences in self-concept styles, it is possible that the SFA is modulated by culture. The present study explored this possibility using a visual search task. British Caucasians and Malaysian Chinese participants were asked to search for frontal view images of self, friend, and unfamiliar faces among an array of unfamiliar faces. Regardless of race, participants were more accurate and faster in searching for the own face and friend’s face compared to an unfamiliar face, with no differences in the search between the own and friend’s face, and these findings could not be accounted by the cultural differences in self-concept (i.e., operationalized by SCS and HCIV scores). Altogether our results suggest that culture does not modulate the SFA and that this effect is better explained by a familiar face advantage.

“…Interestingly, this effect might be tempered by age. Zhang and Zhou [ 3 ] showed that the self-face reaction time advantage was lessened with older self-face images. The authors suggest that this may be related to a relatively less positive impression of oneself as one ages.…”

In this article, we detail the advantages of self-face identification latencies over more traditional tests of mirror self-recognition. Using reaction time latencies (measured in milliseconds) to identify different dimensions of the self, instead of relying on a simple dichotomous pass/fail mirror mark-test outcome, enables investigators to examine individual differences in self-processing time. This is a significant methodological step forward with important implications. The point of departure for our article is to detail research we and others have conducted on latencies for self-face identification, to show how self-processing occurs in the right side of the brain, how schizophrenia is a self-processing disorder, how self-face reaction time latencies implicate the existence of an underlying multiple modal self-processing system, and to explore ideas for future research.

Own child’s face is one of the most socially salient stimuli for parents, and a faster search for it than for other children’s faces may help provide warmer and more sensitive care. However, it has not been experimentally examined whether parents find their child’s face faster. In addition, although own child’s face is specially processed, the search time for own child’s face may be similar to that for other socially salient stimuli, such as own or spouse’s faces. This study tested these possibilities using a visual search paradigm. Participants (parents) searched for their child’s, own, spouse’s, other child’s, same-sex adult’s, or opposite-sex adult’s faces as search targets. Our findings indicate that both mothers and fathers identified their child’s face more quickly than other children’s faces. Similarly, parents found their own and spouse’s faces more quickly than other adults’ faces. Moreover, the search time for family members’ faces increased with the number of faces on the search display, suggesting an attentional serial search. These results suggest that robust face representations learned within families and close relationships can support reduced search times for family members’ faces.
