Research on familiar faces has been conducted in different countries and resort to celebrities faces, stimuli that are highly constrained by geographic context and cultural peculiarities, since many celebrities are only famous in particular countries. Despite their relevance to psychological research, there are no normative studies of celebrities’ facial recognition in Portugal. We developed a database with 160 black and white pictures of famous persons' faces in this work. The data collection took place in two different studies. In study 1, participants were asked to recognize and name celebrity faces; while in study 2, celebrity names were rated for AoA, familiarity, and distinctiveness. Data were gathered from two different samples of Portuguese young adults aged between 18 and 25 years old, and both procedures were performed online through a questionnaire created in Qualtrics software. This database provides ratings of AoA, familiarity, facial distinctiveness, recognition rate, and naming rate for each celebrity, which will allow further selection of celebrities, based on these five attributes, for studies using Portuguese samples. Also, possible relationships between these five variables were analyzed and presented, highlighting facial distinctiveness as a predictor for both naming and recognition rate of celebrity faces.

对熟悉面孔的研究已在不同国家进行，并采用名人面孔，这种刺激受到地理环境和文化特性的高度限制，因为许多名人只在特定国家出名。尽管它们与心理学研究相关，但葡萄牙没有关于名人面部识别的规范研究。在这项工作中，我们开发了一个包含 160 张名人面孔的黑白照片的数据库。数据收集发生在两个不同的研究中。在研究 1 中，参与者被要求识别和命名名人面孔；而在研究 2 中，名人姓名的评分标准为 AoA、熟悉度和独特性。数据是从 18 至 25 岁的葡萄牙年轻人的两个不同样本中收集的，质量分析软件。该数据库提供每个名人的 AoA、熟悉度、面部独特性、识别率和命名率的评级，这将允许基于这五个属性进一步选择名人，用于使用葡萄牙样本的研究。此外，分析并提出了这五个变量之间可能的关系，强调面部独特性是名人面部命名和识别率的预测因子。
