  • Project goal: This is a version of the amplification task using faces of different races. The goal of this was to discover if different races of faces produced different amplification results.

branches

main branch: the version of the task with either black-white or white-black arrays in facial identities BCEF. BC are white faces and EF are black faces.

bb-ww-mixed-arrays: this version of the task is the same as the one above but it allows for same-race (black-black and white-white) arrays in addition to the mixed race ones.

single-face: version of the task with only one face. This was a binary version of the task where participants would rate the single face as "EMOTIONAL" or "NOT EMOTIONAL" rather than providing an estimate using the sliding face scale.
