Looking for a paradigm to test emotional face, voice, and posture (if possible) recognition in adult PTSD and TBI populations, preferably with more recent photos than the DANVA. Thanks in advance!
You may be interested in the Ryerson Audio-visual database of emotional speech and song (RAVDESS). It's a validated multimodal database of emotional speech and song. It contain 7356 recordings in English, with 8 emotions: calm, happy, sad, angry, fearful, surprise, disgust, and neutral, each at two emotional intensities. Several researchers have used these recordings to generate still images.

You can contact Katja Schlegel, [email protected], she developed a test called the GERT, it is videos for emotion recognition. Then there is the PONS and the mini PONS, also video based. If you contact Judy Hall, as Bill mentioned in his reply, that would be the best. There is also the Northeastern Website on which you can download some of the tests directly http://repository.neu.edu/collections/neu:193290/contents/0.

Wow, thank you all for such informative answers! I am excited to investigate the options you've presented and most likely some of you will be hearing from me. Again much appreciated! -Laura
The DANVA pictures are a little dated, but I'd not worry about that since it's been used in thousands of studies. The reliability and validity would outweigh the age for me. I should disclose I'm a former student of Dr. Nowicki's and therefore a bit biased. :)
The online version of the DANVA (a Flash/.swf program) is likely going to need to change as Adobe phases out Flash by the end of 2020. However, it still plays in media players and web browsers. Other researchers have requested the stimuli to integrate into other software like Qualtrics and E-Prime.
Researchers interested in the DANVA can still request the traditional (photos/voice clips), computer-based, web-based (Flash) programs, or DANVA stimuli from Dr. Steve Nowicki ([email protected]) and myself ([email protected]). We have all of the digital files in a cloud-based storage option and can share for preview.
