  text: In the present study, we examined whether the detection advantage for negative-face
    targets in crowds of positive-face distractors over positive-face targets in crowds
    of negative faces can be explained by differentially efficient distractor rejection.
    Search Condition A demonstrated more efficient distractor rejection with negative-face
    targets in positive-face crowds than vice versa. Search Condition B showed that
    target identity alone is not sufficient to account for this effect, because there
    was no difference in processing efficiency for positive- and negative-face targets
    within neutral crowds. Search Condition C showed differentially efficient processing
    with neutral-face targets among positive- or negative-face distractors. These
    results were obtained with both a within-participants (Experiment 1) and a between-participants
    (Experiment 2) design. The pattern of results is consistent with the assumption
    that efficient rejection of positive (more homogenous) distractors is an im
