Invitation to participate in the experiment “Vad säger rösten om talaren? – Ett perceptionstest”
You are being invited to participate in an experiment, part of a study on how listeners perceive a character’s physical, social, and psychological features based on their vocal characteristics.
This is a listening experiment. To participate, you must be a native Swedish speaker, between 20 and 50 years old. The experiment is online, in Swedish, and takes around 20 minutes to complete. You will be asked to give some background information on yourself to help analyse the data we collect. That information will not be shared with outside parties, and all the data collected will be anonymized.
There is no compensation for participating in this study. However, your participation will be a valuable addition to our research on voice and its role in media and social interaction.
If you are interested in taking part in the experiment, you can access it at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/vo_se, where you will find additional information and instructions. Your participation is voluntary, and if you change your mind, you are free to quit the experiment at any point with no penalty.
You are also welcome to share the experiment with family, friends, and anyone you think would be interested in answering it.

Invited speakers mainly represent Nordic scholars at different career stages. In 2024, we will convene once a month on varying weekdays and times to test which meeting time would be optimal. The talks (30-40 mins) will be followed by free discussion in a relaxed atmosphere.
