WANTED: Pictures of facial expressions in younger children
by Andreas Johnen 15 Jun '11

15 Jun '11

Hi all, first of all a short introduction since this is my first post in this list. My name is Andreas Johnen and I work as a research assistant (PhD Student) at the Institute for Forensic Psychiatry at the LVR Clinics in Essen / Germany. We are currently planning an fMRI study on the neural basis of implicit emotional processing in forensic patients. Ultimately we want to study emotional empathy in delinquents and especially in convicted child molesters but a paradigm with facial expressions seems like a good start to research group differences in neural emotion processing. Thus, especially emotional processing of children's facial expressions is of interest to us. For this aim we are looking for a database (or anything really) that provides facial expressions (preferably the 5 basic emotions, but at least neutral, happy, sad) of children, preferably prepubescent children (age 9-14). The Radboud Face Database provides 9 children models, however these models appear to be either post-pubescent or in puberty. Since I already searched Databases around the web and also in publications unsuccesfully, anything can be helpful. If anyone knows somebody who has studied children's faces and facial expressions in children, differences between processing of children and adult faces, or if you can give me any hint on where to look for or who to contact it is much appreciated. Besides that, if anyone is interested in our research, please feel free to contact me for more information, possible cooperations or just simply out of interest. Thanks in advance for your input and best regards, -Andy -- Dipl. Psych.

Dear all, I'd like to announce a new Masters program at Stirling: Research Methods in Psychology of Faces. This is a one year MSc forming a specialised stream of our existing Psychological Research Methods course. It will cover most aspects of the psychology of faces, from low level visual processing to expression and gaze perception, social cognition, facial composite systems, face recognition and matching. Students will be expected to take part in face group research meetings and will have opportunities to use the laboratory equipment which includes an eye-tracker and a 3D face camera. The course also covers more general aspects of psychology research: advanced statistics, research methods and key skills, together with a placement in a research laboratory. http://www.stir.ac.uk/postgraduate/programme-information/prospectus/psychol… Please forward this to any potentially interested students Peter Hancock Professor Psychology, School of Natural Sciences University of Stirling FK9 4LA, UK phone 01786 467675 fax 01786 467641 http://www.psychology.stir.ac.uk/staff/phancock -- The Sunday Times Scottish University of the Year 2009/2010 The University of Stirling is a charity registered in Scotland, number SC 011159.
