Shooting displaying different emotions
How to use the images for experiments
Here are some photographs I have taken of myself, each capturing different emotions. My next step is to present these images to a larger test group. To enhance neutrality and emphasize the facial expressions, the photos are in high-contrast black and white. One approach is to have participants view the images and generate their own adjectives to describe the emotions. Alternatively, I could offer three specific adjectives for them to choose from. To explore the perception of subtle micro-expressions, these adjectives should represent specific subcategories of broader emotions; for instance, terrified, anxious, and frightened could all fall under fear. A third option is to provide a comprehensive list of adjectives from which participants can select one for each photograph. Ultimately, I aim to determine if there are any consistent or common patterns in the adjectives assigned by the test group.
