Ergebnisse::
- 01 | Generating voices with phonological characteristics which supposedly are “charismatic” actually led to increased perception of charisma in listeners
- 02 | Lit review references: @rosenberg2009, Biadsy et al., @signorello2012, @niebuhr2016a
- 02 | Gender bias: Female speakers typically give stronger charisma cues yet are perceived equally strong → Could be skewed because previous data from only-male studies
- 03 | Explanation of their methods, they crowdsourced ratings with MTurk and accounted for quality by introducing some “trick questions”
- ? What are Human Intelligence Tasks?
- 03 | They asked raters to record their own voice, once in natural and again in a “charismatic” tone
- 04 | Normalized speech to get overall influence of prosodic features, then measured split by gender → louder, higher, faster, dynamic speech
