Speaking is a popular saying.The word "speech" in this study is what people usually call oral speech.Oral speech is the speech that people express their thoughts through their own voice.In addition to the content and other factors in speech,the loudness(volume)will also have a certain impact on the communication parties.There are some annoying and uncivilized topics and news about high-volume speech on the Internet;and there are also some examples about that some people will increase their speech volume when they get angry or quarrel with others.However,few studies have explored the effects of higher loudness on the emotions of listeners and speakers.Therefore,this paper discusses the influence of higher loudness of oral speech on the listener's and the speaker's own emotions.In Experiment 1,we explored the influence of the high loudness oral speech on the listener's mood and its psychological mechanism.In the experiment,the loudness perceived by the subjects was manipulated by controlling the sound intensity of the objective physical quantity.The experiment was designed with a mixed experiment of 2(loudness: high vs low)× 2(speakers' gender: male vs female)× 2(attention form: intentional vs unintentional),in which the loudness and speakers' gender were the inter subject variables,and the attention form was the intra subject variable.The specific idea of the experiment is as follows: Firstly,the loudness perceived by the subjects was manipulated by playing recordings with different sound intensities.Secondly,the MP150 BIOPAC was used to measure the changes of autonomic nerve in real time.Finally,the subjects were asked to fill in the PANAS and the personality impression scale after the recording.The results show that:(1)There was a significant difference in the perceived loudness of the listeners when playing the same recording with the same sound intensity in different attention form.The subjects under the condition of unintentional attention perceived a higher loudness.(2)For the listeners under the condition of intentional attention,the high loudness made them have more positive emotions;for the listeners under the condition of unintentional attention,both the two loudness made them have negative emotions and there is no significant difference between the two sound intensities;the speakers' gender had no significant influence on the emotions of the listeners.(3)For the listeners under the condition of intentional attention,there was a significant difference in their GSR data due to the change of loudness.For the listeners under the condition of intentional attention,there was no significant difference in GSR data due to the change of loudness.There was a significant difference between the two ways of attention in the listeners' GSR data.(4)The listeners had better impression of the following three kinds of sounds: highloudness,male's sound and sound under the condition of intentional attention.(5)The humor,importance and attractiveness played a part of mediating role between loudness and positive emotion.In Experiment 2,we explored the influence of the high loudness oral speech on the speakers' mood and its psychological mechanism.The experiment manipulated the loudness of the subjects' voices by measuring the intensity of their voices in real time.The experiment was designed with a mixed experiment of 2(loudness: high vs low)× 2(speakers' gender: male vs female),in which the loudness was the intra subject variable.The specific idea of the experiment is as follows: Firstly,let the participants read neutral text materials with fixed loudness for manipulation.Secondly,the subjects were asked to fill in the PANAS and the personal impression scale to get self-report data after the reading task.The results show that:(1)The speech with higher loudness can make speakers have more positive emotions and more negative emotions.(2)The higher the loudness of the speech,the more positive the impression of the listener.(3)The generous degree,happy degree,strong degree and attractive degree played a part of mediating role between loudness and positive emotions.The research conclusion:(1)The speech with high loudness makes the listeners in different forms of conscious have different emotional reactions,the conscious listeners have positive emotions and the unconscious listeners have negative emotion.(2)The speech with high loudness made the conscious listeners have positive impression of speakers,so that the listeners had a positive mood.(3)The speech with high loudness can made the speakers have positive emotions and negative emotion.(4)The speech with high loudness makes the speakers guess that the listeners had positive impression on themselves,so that the speakers themselves had positive mood.
