[Face-research-list] Face database with Oriental and Occidental faces

[Joscha Stecker]

Dear all,

we're searching for a face database with stimuli including ideally both
- a) faces from the Middle East/ Oriental looking faces and
- b) faces from Western society / Occidental looking faces.

Some more charachteristics that might be helpfull for us:
- more than 20 males & 20 females in each group a) and b)
- standardized photo-sets with minimal variation of background and 
orientations
- neutral expression and/or natural variation of emotion and/or 
different emotions for each face
- licence agreement allowing the use for non-profit academic research
- the actual origin (Occidental/ Oriental) of the people showed in the 
photos
- any further data on face characteristics, external face ratings or 
characteristics of the targets shown would be great (albeit not a 
prerequisite)

Within a project on the psychology of forced migration (University of 
Muenster, Germany; Prof. Mitja Back), we're planning to examine 
personality perceptions based on photos of Oriental and Occidental 
faces. Therefore we're glad for every idea concerning a face database 
including the above characteristics.

Thanks in advance and best regards,
Joscha Stecker
