Abstract

We used a reverse-correlation image-classification paradigm to visualize facial representations of immigrants and citizens in the United States. Visualizations of immigrants’ faces were judged by independent raters as less trustworthy and less competent and were more likely to be categorized as a non-White race/ethnicity than were visualizations of citizens’ faces. Additionally, image generators’ personal characteristics (e.g., implicit and explicit evaluations of immigrants, nativity status) did not reliably track with independent judges’ ratings of image generators’ representations of immigrants. These findings suggest that anti-immigrant sentiment and racial/ethnic assumptions characterize facial representations of immigrants in the United States, even among people who harbor positivity toward immigrants.
