Own-race bias effect on facial expression
BOLDIŠOVÁ, Michaela
The bachelor thesis deals with the phenomenon of own-race bias (ORB) and its influence on the recognition of facial expressions. The theoretical part presents a perception of the face and its neurological essence. It focuses more on the very concept of ORB, its development during childhood and research conducted in this area. Finally, there is a chapter on facial expressions and their universality. The empirical part presents the methodology of the designed research, which aims to find influence of own-race bias on the recognition of facial expressions and the finding of a possible connection with intercultural contact. In addition to the design of the experiment, this section contains a detailed procedure of research and insight into the already completed computer experiment. Furthermore, the used database (The RADIATE Face Stimulus Set) is analyzed in detail and there is described the way in which such a database is searched for, and a questionnaire to determine the degree of intercultural contact. Data tables have been prepared to make the database easier to use. In the chapter Methodological analysis, the actual experimental procedure is presented in the context of the methodology of other experiments in this area and the discussion includes an analysis of their results and theoretical knowledge on the topic. The empirical part thus presents the reader with the necessary methodological procedure for carrying out his own own-race bias experiment in facial expression.
