These tasks were developed for research into the reliability of first impressions of "other-race" faces. In the first task briefly presented faces of White and Black individuals are rated on perceived likeability, and in the second task the same faces are rated on perceived intelligence. The two tasks have an identical format. In each task, each face is presented twice, once in the first block, and once in a second block, allowing the assessment of test-retest reliability of the trait ratings.

This task presents 40 White faces (20 men, 20 women) and 40 Black faces (20 men, 20 women), obtained from the Chicago Face Database (Ma, Correll, & Wittenbrink, 2015). All faces are rated twice, once in the first block of 80 trials and once in the second block of 80 trials. Presentation order is randomized across participants, but the order of trials within the first and second block is held constant for each participant. There is an enforced 2-minute interval screen in between the two blocks during which participants are encouraged to take a break.
Each trial begins with a fixation cross (1 second) followed by the face image (1 second). Stimuli are presented at 5.5cm × 7cm on participants’ screen. The face image is replaced by a response screen, where participants rate the likeability of the person depicted using a slider that ranges from -50 ('very dislikeable') to 50 ('very likeable'). There is no time limit for participants’ responses. In the instructions provided at the start of the task, participants are told that “a likeable person would be considered trustworthy, nice, and friendly, whereas a dislikeable person would be considered untrustworthy, nasty, and unfriendly”.

The face image is replaced by a response screen, where participants rate the intelligence of the person depicted using a slider that ranges from -50 ('very unintelligent') to 50 ('very intelligent'). There is no time limit for participants’ responses. In the instructions provided at the start of the task, participants are told that “an intelligent person would be considered knowledgeable, insightful, and likely to grasp new ideas quickly, whereas an unintelligent person would be considered ignorant, foolish, and likely to grasp new ideas slowly”.
