Experiment Instructions
This study is about understanding how people categorize faces.
Specifically, you will be asked to write down the social group(s) that you think the person in the face belongs to. Consider any social categories that come to mind, such as gender, age group, ethnicity, or any other groups you believe are relevant.
Once you have finished categorizing the face, you will be asked to rate how typical the face is for each of the social groups you listed.
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 face, and the input boxes (see example below, middle). Please think about which social group(s) the face might belong to, and then type your response into the input boxes.
Once you have finished typing the social group(s), click "Next".
After clicking the button, a rating scale will appear next to each social group you listed. You will then need to rate how typical this face is of each group by clicking the number button 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7.
Click submit to next trail.
Your response time for answering the question will be recorded. You will receive an alert message if your response time is unusually short or long.
