Description
The FEIRT-CIC comprises four negative basic emotions:
- Anger
- Disgust
- Fear
- Sadness
The chosen intensities of the emotional facial expressions (from the Facial Expressions of Emotion - Stimuli and Tests Set 1 are based on the results of a study we conducted 2).
Subjects are asked to rate the intensity of the specific facial emotion, either of a female or a male face. Each emotional expression is presented four times in a row. In one of the four presentations, the mentioned emotion corresponds to the emotional facial expression (congruent condition), whereas in the other three presentations the name of the emotion does not correspond to the emotional facial expression (incongruent conditions).
