black South African faces

by Rachel Robbins

Hi everyone, I ran a study using some great faces from Colin Tredoux, but the faces do not have permission for publication so I need just a few black African faces that I can use to make example stimuli for the paper (preferably black South African, but African-American or other parts of African would do). If any one has some, or knows a database that has some please let me know! (The Cohn-Kanade database has some but they are not the ones available for publication). Thanks! Rachel

Re: [Face-research-list] Nicola Jones-Assistance required

by Rachel Cole-Fletcher

Hi all, I'm a PhD student working with Vicki Bruce and Debbie Riby at Newcastle Uni, looking at the profiles of those with Williams Syndrome and ASDs in interpreting emotions from faces. Nicola, there is an excellent faces database, that I think sounds like what you need (although might not quite have enough photos but could be a start!) here: http://www.socsci.ru.nl:8180/RaFD2/RaFD?p=overview. You have to request access to it but they're generally happy to grant it as long as you're using the database for academic research. Hope that helps!
