Neuroticism, Extraversion, and Paralinguistic Expression
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to test the associations among neuroticism, extraversion, and paralinguistic expression. The relevant literature provides ample information on the association between personality traits and voice intensity, pitch, pace of speaking, frequency of pauses, slips of the tongue, and other speech impediments. The author attempted to verify and supplement work reported previously. Scores for 100 persons (56 women, 44 men; M age = 21.5 yr., SD = 1.5) were analyzed with respect to two aspects of personality, neuroticism and introversion-extraversion. To analyze the paralinguistic properties of speech, elicited oral messages were examined, i.e., a fairy tale told by the examinees. While the analysis did not give unambiguous evidence that the assumptions were correct, it indicated singular and statistically significant relations of introversion and neuroticism with speech fluency impediments.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
