Anxiety, Speech Disturbances and Speech Rate

Abstract

A distinction is drawn between two types of anxiety that might affect speech. Previous work on speech disturbance and speech rate is reviewed in the light of this distinction. An experiment is carried out in which both types of anxiety are varied. A significant effect of one type of anxiety on certain types of speech disturbance is found. A significant interaction between both types of anxiety and speech rate is found. On the basis of these results, conclusions are drawn about the usefulness of speech disturbances as an indicator of anxiety.
