Paralanguage and the Interpersonal Impact of Dysphoria: It's Not What You Say But How You Say It.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Paddock, John R.; Nowicki, Stephen, Jr. – Social Behavior and Personality, 1986
Clinically depressed persons and dysphoric normals have a negative impact on others. This study attempted to identify what about the dysphoric paralinguistic style creates the aversive impact experienced by others. Results suggest that soft, flat tones, with long pauses and variable loudness and pitch were significant. (Author/KS)
