Interactions of Visual and Auditory Information in Social Perception related to Gender and Ethnicity

当前项目的总体目标是测试社会感知，分类，以及与性别和种族相关的印象形成与复杂和生态有效的刺激，而不仅仅是标签或照片的呈现。目标1是对第一个供资期的主要发现采取后续行动。一系列实验将以实验范式进行测试，辅以事件相关电位，在这些条件下，期望违反决定了方言或外国口音说话者的印象。目标2是基于这样一种想法，即也有非慢性信息可能是诊断性的，因此当与种族和性别信息交叉时，这些信息被用于社会分类（佩戴与种族相关的头饰；强势/弱势言论）。目标3是将我们的提案主题扩展到一个新的研究领域。在一项心理学-语音学合作中，我们将批判性地测试和跟踪关于个体性取向信息在语音特征中体现的发现。将提取德语语音中的相关语音标记（这将是对盎格鲁撒克逊人的现有发现的扩展）；它们将涉及与说话者的性别角色取向和各自的社会群体认同有关的变量；以及声音和声音面部刺激对性取向的感知。就整个研究单位而言，这个项目的最终目标是在整合来自不同模式的社会类别信息方面，促进对个人感知模型的阐述。

The general aim of the current project is to test social perception, categorization, and impression formation related to gender and ethnicity with complex and ecologically valid stimuli that go beyond the presentation of labels or photographs only. Aim 1 is to follow up on key findings from the first funding period. Series of experiments will test with experimental paradigms, supplemented by event-related potentials, under which conditions expectancy violations determine impressions of speakers with dialects or foreign accents. Aim 2 is based on the idea that there is also non-chronic information that may be diagnostic and thus used for social categorization when crossed with ethnicity and gender information (wearing ethnically-associated headwear; powerful/powerless speech). Aim 3 is an extension of our proposal topic to a new research area. In a psychology-phonetics cooperation, we will critically test and follow up on the finding that information about individuals’ sexual orientation is manifest in phonetic speech characteristics. The relevant speech markers in German speech will be extracted (which will be an extension of existing findings from Anglo-Saxon speakers); they will be related to variables pertaining to speakers’ gender role orientation and respective social-group identification; and to the perception of sexual orientation in voices and voice-face stimuli. The ultimate aim of this project in relation to the entire research unit is contributing to the elaboration of person-perception models with regard to the integration of social-category information from different modalities.
