Procedure 1. Each slide was shown for 10 seconds to small groups of U.S. born college students.
The number o f male and female observers was approximately equal. The answer sheet provided
a choice o f six emotions: happy, sad, fear, anger, surprise and disgust. The observers selected the
one word which best described the emotion expressed in each slide. The percentage o f observers
judging each of the six emotions was calculated for each slide.
Procedure 2. Each slide was shown for 10 seconds to small groups of U.S. born college students.
Again the number of male and female observers was approximately equal. The answer sheet
listed the same six emotion words, but each emotion word was presented on a seven point scale,
with neutral or no emotion at one end, and the intended emotion at the other. The observers rated
every slide on each o f the six emotion scales, i.e. they could rate a slide as showing maximum
happiness and neutral on all other scales, or maximum on all six emotions, or some degree
between the extremes.
To convert these data to a format comparable to the first procedure, each observers ratings were
reduced to a single judgm ent for each slide, i.e. the emotion to which he gave the highest rating.
If he gave the same intensity rating to more than one emotion, or there was not a difference of at
least two points between his ratings of two emotions expressed in a picture, his data were deleted
from the analysis for that slide. (This procedure required deleting the data from less than 5 per
cent of the observers.)
Procedure 2 was used in only one experiment. It is the only data source where observers could
give neutral as a judgm ent choice (by circling the zero-point on all six emotion scales.)
The following table summarizes the results of these studies. All photographs in the present set
were judged to show the intended emotion by at least 70 per cent of the observers. All but 11
were correctly rated more than 80 per cent of the time; 59 were correctly judged by more than 90
per cent of the raters.

* Photos intended to pose a neutral face (N = 14) were not included in this table as some were not used in the
experiment which allowed neutral as a choice.
Complete data for each photograph are provided in Tables 2 and 3 at the end of this report. Table
2 is organized by poser, Table 3 by the six emotions expressed (plus neutral), but the data arc
identical in the two tables. The last column (N) showing number of judges appears only in Table
2.
