Pathogen-Relevant Face Database

About the Face Database

For the purpose of future studies, we developed a new face database consisting of 96 photographs: 4 ethnicities (Black, Asian, White & Latino) x 2 genders (males & females) x 6 identities (for each condition) with or without manipulation of visible inflammation cues.

We did the pilot study (N = 189; after exclusion due to missing data the final sample consisted of N = 157) which in participants rated each photograph on likeability, attractiveness, and health. Additionally, we asked to what extent the person in the photo evokes emotions of anger, disgust, compassion, and fear. All pictures presenting fictional identities were created by AI systems.
