IAPS Message
Dear Colleague
Thank you for your interest in the International Affective Picture System (IAPS, pronounced (EYE-APS). The International Affective Picture System (IAPS) provides normative ratings of emotion (pleasure, arousal, dominance) for a set of color photographs that provide a set of normative emotional stimuli for experimental investigations of emotion and attention.
Considering our exclusively scholarly interests and our status as a unit of the State University, we do not sell these materials. We provide them solely for use in academic, not-for-profit research at recognized educational institutions.
To receive the IAPS for your research, please fill out and submit the IAPS Researcher Information Form. Upon submission of this form, you will receive an email asking you to print, sign and fax the IAPS User Agreement. Within 30 days of receiving your request, you will receive a username and password, and the link to download the IAPS. This link should not be shared, distributed, or linked to from another website.
As already stated, these images are made freely available to non-profit researchers. It is expected that they will be used only in basic and health research projects. In accepting these materials, researchers are expected not to provide them to profit making companies or organizations. Furthermore, they are expected not to make them available to the media (television, magazines, etc.) or to place them on the internet. Making these materials familiar to the general public can seriously compromise their value as stimuli in many research projects.
Thanks again for your interest.
