Subject: [Face-research-list] Request for data: Verbal descriptions and identification data

Dear all,

I am working with Professor Colin Tredoux to analyse verbal or written descriptions of perpetrators / faces and statements; unfortunately, we do not have enough diversity in the descriptions that we have collected so far. Specifically, our sample sizes are comparatively small compared to studies that have used MTurk, and when we have found other researchers’ data on OSF (e.g., the Alogna et al replication of the VOE study), our dataset is overwhelming tinted with descriptions of the ‘same’ perpetrator (i.e., the moustached bank robber in the original video used of Schooler).
For these reasons, we are reaching out to other researchers for help. We often collect witness statements in our experiments as part of our laboratory procedure (encode – recall – recognise), but we do not normally analyse these statement data. We are hoping that other researchers follow a similar procedure and have description/statement data available.  We’d like to ask if you would be willing to share your data where you have collected descriptions of the perpetrator/s or statements of the coding event, and also have corresponding lineup identification data.
The data does not need to be processed – we can process it on our side and recode the variables (and I can send this back to you). To do this, we just need to know stimuli characteristics (e.g., tp/ta, position of suspect/target, confidence scale, lineup choice made etc).
Please let me know if you are able to assist us. Apologies again for the random e-mail, but any assistance would be much assisted.
Thanks again! Hope to hear from you.
Kind regards,
Alicia Nortje and Colin Tredoux
