Abstract

Abstract. The first goal of the present study was to explore how 21 voice measures related to self-reported personality and communication styles. The second goal was to test the assertion of Trait Activation Theory (TAT) that traits are activated in relevant situations and that verbal behavior is the result of an interplay between individual differences and situations. The voice of 138 participants was measured in the lab via steady voice and continuous speech tasks, whereas personality and communication styles were self-reported using the HEXACO and Communication Styles Inventory. To test TAT, four scenarios were developed to activate the communication styles of Informality and Expressiveness. It was hypothesized that the activated communication styles will interact with relevant situations and will be expressed through changes in voice (i.e., pitch variation). Regarding the first goal, an explorative approach revealed that voice characteristics are informative mainly for the personality traits of Openness to Experience, Emotionality, and Conscientiousness and the communication styles of Emotionality and Questioningness. Regarding the second goal, the interactions between situations and communication styles provided mixed support for TAT. Implications and limitations of the study are discussed.

你的声音揭示了你的什么?
摘要本研究的第一个目标是探索21项语音测量与自我报告的个性和沟通风格之间的关系。第二个目标是检验特质激活理论(TAT)的断言,即特质在相关情境中被激活,言语行为是个体差异和情境之间相互作用的结果。138名参与者的声音在实验室中通过稳定的声音和连续的言语任务进行测量,而个性和沟通风格则使用HEXACO和沟通风格量表进行自我报告。为了测试TAT,开发了四个场景来激活非正式和表达的沟通风格。假设激活的沟通风格将与相关情况相互作用,并通过声音的变化(即音高变化)来表达。关于第一个目标,一种探索性的方法表明,声音特征主要是对经验开放性、情感性和尽责性的人格特征以及情感性和质疑性的沟通风格提供信息的。关于第二个目标,情境和沟通风格之间的互动为TAT提供了混合支持。讨论了该研究的意义和局限性。

期刊介绍: Researchers, teachers, and students interested in all areas of individual differences (e.g., gender, temperament, personality, intelligence) and their assessment in human and animal research will find the Journal of Individual Differences useful. The Journal of Individual Differences publishes manuscripts dealing with individual differences in behavior, emotion, cognition, and their developmental aspects. This includes human as well as animal research. The Journal of Individual Differences is conceptualized to bring together researchers working in different areas ranging from, for example, molecular genetics to theories of complex behavior.
