Paralanguage and the Interpersonal Impact of Dysphoria: It's Not What You Say But How You Say It.

Paddock, John R.; Nowicki, Stephen, Jr.

Social Behavior and Personality, v14 n1 p29-44 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)
