Welcome and thank you for your interest!
About the study
The purpose of this experiment is to learn more about what information can be conveyed by the voice quality itself, even if no words are spoken. You will listen to human nonverbal vocalizations, such as squeals of delight or angry yells, and rate voice quality (high- or low-pitched, rough, etc.) as well as speaker characteristics (how tall or aggressive they sound, etc.).
Instructions
Find a quiet spot to do this experiment and use headphones. To get a feel for the range of vocalizations in the study, please listen to these 3 examples before you start the experiment. Adjust your headphones to a comfortable sound volume and do not change it during the experiment.
For each sound, click with your cursor along the provided scale to indicate your rating. A red X and a number corresponding to your rating will appear. You can click elsewhere along the scale to change your rating. To replay a sound, click "Play". Once you are satisfied with your rating, proceed to the next sound by selecting "Next".
