ALT1:... that studies on voice confrontation show that the average person dislikes their own voice because it reveals dissatisfying aspects of their own personality?
Source: Through their experiments, the late psychologists Phil Holzemann and Clyde Rousey concluded in 1966 that voice confrontation arises not only from a difference in expected frequency, but also a striking revelation that occurs upon the realisation of all that your voice conveys. Not only does it sound different than you expect; through what are called “extra-linguistic cues”, it reveals aspects of your personality that you can only fully perceive upon hearing it from a recording. These include aspects such as your anxiety level, indecision, sadness, anger, and so on. from The Guardian article
ALT2:... that bilinguals experience voice confrontation and dislike their own voices in their native language more than in other languages?
Source: bilinguals who learned a second language after the age of 16 showed more discomfort when hearing their recorded voices in their first language from The Guardian article, and Holzman, Philip S.; Berger, Andrew; Rousey, Clyde (1967). "Voice confrontation: A bilingual study". Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. 7 (4, Pt.1): 423–428. doi:10.1037/h0025233. ISSN1939-1315.
ALT3:... that a 1967 study on voice confrontation found that bilingual people dislike hearing recordings of their own voice in their native language more than in other languages?
Source: same as above
ALT4:... that women experience voice confrontation and dislike their own voices more than men do?
ALT5:... that a 1970 study on voice confrontation found that women dislike hearing recordings of their own voice more than men do?
Source: same as above
ALT6:... that a 1967 study on voice confrontation found that only 38% of people could identify recordings of their own voice within 5 seconds?
”Within the limits of 5 sec. of utterance and 3-mo delay between recording and playback, 38% of SS with moderate experience in hearing their own voices and with no professional interest in their own voice correctly recognized their own voices.” from Rousey, Clyde; Holzman, Philip S. (1967). "Recognition of one's own voice". Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. 6 (4, Pt.1): 464–466. doi:10.1037/h0024837. ISSN1939-1315. ”One study, during which people were played recordings of their own voices, found that just 38% of people were able to identify their own voice immediately.” from Time magazine
Hi, MarkH21, this is a fascinating subject and I'm willing to review, but right now it's an immediate fail because it isn't long enough. It needs to be at least 1500 characters of prose, and right now it's only 631 characters. —valereee (talk) 15:10, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
@Valereee: Thanks for starting the review! Sorry, I anticipated fleshing out the article within a few hours of creating the DYK nomination but I didn’t get around to it yet. Will do so soon! — MarkH21talk 15:37, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
No worries, just ping me when you're ready! 15:44, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
@Valereee: Article updated! Working on the QPQ now. — MarkH21talk 20:45, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
@Valereee: QPQ done. Also just want to note that I personally prefer ALT4/ALT5 as more interesting than the others. — MarkH21talk 09:02, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
I'd like to build an ALT around the fact that most people can't identify their own voice within 5 seconds? —valereee (talk) 20:52, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
@Valereee: Sure! I just added ALT6, but feel free to modify it! — MarkH21talk 21:16, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
Checking alts now:
ALT0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 cited at the sentence. —valereee (talk) 16:47, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
Good to go with any of the offered ALTs. Nom prefers 4 or 5, I prefer 6, but I actually think this is such a high-interest subject that any of the alts work. —valereee (talk) 16:50, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
I'm actually okay with any of the ALTs, and I'm not so sure I have a preference anymore :) — MarkH21talk 20:06, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
