How Does Our Voice Reflect Who We Are? Connecting the Voice and the Self Using Implicit Association Tests.

Purpose: This study examined the contribution of voice to the self via implicit associations.

Method: An implicit association test (IAT) of the voice and the self was created and presented to vocal performers and community controls. One-hundred eleven participants completed this voice-self IAT, the Vocal Congruence Scale (VCS), and the Voice Handicap Index (VHI) via an in-person, monitored, and timed Qualtrics survey.
