Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the characteristics of voice-personality perception in blind persons and its relationship with their self-evaluation of personality.Methods:A total of 68 blind persons and 68 sighted peers were respectively recruited to rated 30 short voice recordings on traits of voice-personality perception(including maturi-ty,sunshine,cuteness,indolence,seriousness,simpleness and honestness,gentleness,kindness,self-confidence and optimism).Meanwhile,data on self-evaluations of the above participants and speakers in those recordings,along with acquaintance's ratings on speakers'personality were collected.Results:The research found that compared to sighted peers,blind individuals had a lower voice-personality rating on speakers in traits of sunshine,seriousness,gentleness,kindness,self-confidence and optimism(Ps＜0.005).It also detected that the voice-personality ratings on these speakers by blind individuals had a greater deviation from the rating by these speakers/acquaintances in sunshine;gentleness;kindness and optimism(Ps＜0.005).Meanwhile,blind individuals had lower self-rating on personality in sunshine and optimism(Ps＜0.005).Furthermore,self-ratings of sunshine from blind individuals were positively associated with their voice-personality ratings of optimism on speakers(r=0.28,P＜0.05),and their self-ratings of optimism were positively related to their voice-personality ratings of sunshine and self-confi-dence on speakers(r=0.27,0.28,Ps＜0.05).Conclusion:The study shows that blind individuals have lower voice-personality ratings on others than their sighted peers,which might be due to some of their more negative per-sonality characteristics.
