چکیده مقاله:

Background and objectives: Emotion perception plays a major role in proper communication with people in different social interactions. Nonverbal affect bursts can be used to evaluate vocal emotion perception. This study sought to determine the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Montreal Affective Voices (MAV) inPersian people.Materials and Methods: The short, emotional sound made by pronouncing the vowel a in Persian was recorded by 22 actors and actresses in order to develop the Persian version of the MAV, the Persian affective voices (PAV), for emotions of happiness, sadness, pleasure, pain, anger, disgust, fear, surprise and neutrality. The results of the recordings of five of the actresses and five of the actors who obtained the highest scores were used to generate the test. For convergent validity assessment, the correlation between the PAV and a speech prosody comprehension test was examined using a gender- and age-matched control group. Test reliability was examined by test-retest.Findings: The PAV showed a high internal consistency (Cronbach’s α=0.80). A significant positive correlation was observed between the PAV and the speech prosody comprehension test. The test-retest reliability also showed the high repeatability of the PAV (ICC=0.815, p≤0.001).Conclusion: Given its high validity and reliability, the PAV can be used in behavioral studies and image capturing for examining auditory emotion perception.
