These prosodic attributes are well-documented within the vocal emotion literature. However, there is considerable variability in the types of stimuli and procedures used to examine their influence on emotion recognition. In addition, the confidence we have in our assessments of another person’s emotional state has been argued to strongly influence performance accuracy in emotion recognition tasks. Nevertheless, such associations have rarely been studied previously. We addressed this knowledge gap by examining the impact of vocal stimulus type and prosodic speech attributes on emotion recognition and a person’s confidence in a given response. We analyzed a total of 1038 emotional expressions spoken in an angry, disgusted, fearful, happy, neutral, sad and surprised tone of voice according to a baseline set of prosodic acoustic parameters (N = 13). Two classification procedures (linear discriminant analysis and random forest) established that these acoustic measures provided sufficient discrimination between expressions of emotional categories to permit accurate statistical classification. Logistic regression- and linear models showed that emotion recognition and confidence judgments essentially depended on stimulus material as they could be predicted by different constellations of acoustic features. Results also demonstrated that emotional expressions which were correctly identified elicited confident judgments. Together, these findings extend previous work by showing that vocal stimulus type and prosodic attributes of speech strongly influence emotion recognition and listeners’ confidence in a given response."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.31234/osf.io/kqy2n"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/62168"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.title","Emotion recognition and confidence ratings predicted by vocal stimulus type and acoustic parameters"],["dc.type","preprint"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Several investigators have argued that a comprehensive understanding of gender differences in vocal emotion recognition can only be achieved by replicating these studies while accounting for influential factors such as stimulus type, gender-balanced samples, number of encoders, decoders, and emotional categories. This study aimed to account for these factors by investigating whether emotion recognition from vocal expressions differs as a function of both listeners' and speakers' gender. A total of N = 290 participants were randomly and equally allocated to two groups. One group listened to words and pseudo-words, while the other group listened to sentences and affect bursts. Participants were asked to categorize the stimuli with respect to the expressed emotions in a fixed-choice response format. Overall, females were more accurate than males when decoding vocal emotions, however, when testing for specific emotions these differences were small in magnitude. Speakers' gender had a significant impact on how listeners' judged emotions from the voice. The group listening to words and pseudo-words had higher identification rates for emotions spoken by male than by female actors, whereas in the group listening to sentences and affect bursts the identification rates were higher when emotions were uttered by female than male actors. The mixed pattern for emotion-specific effects, however, indicates that, in the vocal channel, the reliability of emotion judgments is not systematically influenced by speakers' gender and the related stereotypes of emotional expressivity. Together, these results extend previous findings by showing effects of listeners' and speakers' gender on the recognition of vocal emotions. They stress the importance of distinguishing these factors to explain recognition ability in the processing of emotional prosody."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.3389/fpsyg.2018.00882"],["dc.identifier.pmid","29922202"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/15273"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/59277"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.publisher","Frontiers Media S.A."],["dc.relation.eissn","1664-1078"],["dc.relation.issn","1664-1078"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.subject.ddc","570"],["dc.title","Gender Differences in the Recognition of Vocal Emotions"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
