Multiracial individuals represent a growing segment of the population and have been increasingly the focus of empirical study. Much of this research centers on the perception and racial categorization of multiracial individuals. The current paper reviews some of this research and describes the different types of stimuli that have been used in these paradigms. We describe the strengths and weaknesses associated with different operationalizations of multiracialism and highlight the dearth of research using faces of real multiracial individuals, which we posit may be due to the lack of available stimuli. Our research seeks to satisfy this need by providing a free set of high-resolution, standardized images featuring 88 real multiracial individuals along with extensive norming data and objective physical measures of these faces. These data are offered as an extension of the widely used Chicago Face Database and are available for download at www.chicagofaces.org for use in research.
多民族个体代表了人口的一个不断增长的部分,并且越来越成为实证研究的焦点。这些研究主要集中在多民族个体的感知和种族分类上。本文综述了部分相关研究,并描述了这些范式中使用的不同类型的刺激物。我们描述了多民族主义不同操作定义的优缺点,并强调了使用真实多民族个体面孔的研究缺乏,我们认为这可能是由于缺乏可用的刺激物。我们的研究旨在通过提供一组包含 88 位真实多民族个体的高分辨率、标准化图像以及这些面孔的广泛规范数据和客观物理测量,来满足这一需求。这些数据是作为广泛使用的芝加哥人脸数据库的扩展提供的,可在 www.chicagofaces.org 上下载,用于研究。
