Abstract：
Can an inclusive test of face cognition meet or exceed the psychometric properties of a prominent less inclusive test? Here, we norm and validate an updated version of the influential Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test (RMET), a clinically significant neuropsychiatric paradigm that has long been used to assess theory of mind and social cognition. Unlike the RMET, our Multiracial Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test (MRMET) incorporates racially inclusive stimuli, nongendered answer choices, ground-truth referenced answers, and more accessible vocabulary. We show, via a series of large datasets, that the MRMET meets or exceeds RMET across major psychometric indices. Moreover, the reliable signal captured by the two tests is statistically indistinguishable, evidence for full interchangeability. We thus present the MRMET as a high-quality, inclusive, normed and validated alternative to the RMET, and as a case in point that inclusivity in psychometric tests of face cognition is an achievable aim. The MRMET test and our normative and validation data sets are openly available under a CC-BY-SA 4.0 license at osf.io/ahq6n.
摘要：
面部认知的包容性测试是否可以达到或超过突出的包容性较小测试的心理测量特性？在这里，我们规范并验证了有影响力的“在眼睛测试中阅读心灵”（RMET）的更新版本，一种临床上重要的神经精神病学范式，长期以来一直用于评估心理和社会认知理论。不像RMET,我们的多种族阅读眼睛测试（MRMET）包含种族包容性的刺激，非性别答案选择，地面真相引用的答案，和更容易理解的词汇。我们展示,通过一系列大型数据集，MRMET在主要心理测量指数中达到或超过RMET。此外，两个测试捕获的可靠信号在统计上无法区分，完全互换性的证据。因此，我们提出的MRMET作为一个高质量的，包容性,规范和验证的替代RMET，作为一个例子，面部认知的心理测量测试中的包容性是一个可以实现的目标。MRMET测试以及我们的规范和验证数据集可在osf.io/ahq6n的CC-BY-SA4.0许可下公开获得。
