Experiment Instructions

This study is about understanding how people perceive others. You will see photos of different people.

For each person you see, what social groups can you think of about this person? Social groups refer to any categories or types of people you think the person belongs to.

Please list as many social groups as you can think of about the person. There are no right or wrong answers.

Experiment Instructions (continued)

In each trial, you will first see a fixation cross (see example below, left). Please fixate your gaze at the cross.

Then, you will see the question, the person, and the input boxes (see example below, right).

Please write down all the social group(s) that come to mind about this person, one social group per box.

Once you have finished typing the social group(s), click "Next".

Experiment Instructions (continued)

After clicking "Next", another column of input boxes will appear next to each social group. Please type in how typical this person is of each group using numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7.

A high typicality rating indicates that this person represents the characteristics of most members in the social group; in another word, this person is a representative example of the social group.

A low typicality rating indicates that this person has characteristics that very few members in the social group have; in another word, this person is not a representative example of the social group.

Click "Confirm" to proceed to the next trial.
