目的
本研究的目的是考察单语英语、粤语-英语双语和俄英语双语者对语音障碍患者的态度。
方法
在一项混合实验设计中，来自3个语言组的30名年长女性听众和29名年轻女性听众对10名女性的声音进行了评级，每个人都患有轻度、中度或严重的嗓音障碍或没有声音障碍。使用语义差异量表对说话人的21个属性进行评分。
结果
结果表明，随着疾病严重程度的增加，人们对个体的感知变得越来越消极。结果还表明，粤语-英语双语者对患有严重语音障碍的人的评价比英语单语者更负面，语言组在美丽、可爱、干净和年轻的属性上的评分也有所不同。听者年龄不存在总体影响。
结论
研究表明，尽管随着疾病严重程度的增加，语言组在将更多的负面属性归因于个人方面是一致的，但组之间也存在显著差异。对这些问题的探讨为临床医生提供了有用的信息，以确定考虑个人背景和临床因素的干预优先事项。
PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to examine the attitudes of monolingual English, bilingual Cantonese-English, and bilingual Russian-English speakers toward individuals with voice disorders.
METHOD
In a mixed experimental design, a total of 30 older and 29 younger female listeners from the 3 language groups rated the voices of 10 females, each with a mild, moderate, or severe voice disorder or with no voice disorder. A semantic differential scale was used to rate the speakers on 21 attributes.
RESULTS
Results indicate that the perception of individuals became increasingly negative as the severity of the disorder increased. Results also indicate that Cantonese-English bilinguals rated the individuals with severe voice disorders more negatively than did English monolinguals and that the language groups differed in their ratings for the attributes of beautiful, lovable, clean, and young. There was no overall effect of age of listener.
CONCLUSION
The study demonstrates that although the language groups were uniform in ascribing more negative attributes to individuals as severity of the disorder increased, there were also significant differences between the groups. Exploration of these issues provides information useful to clinicians in setting priorities for intervention that take into account individuals' backgrounds as well as clinical factors.
