Acoustic measurements of the experimenter’s happy versus sad speech for each acoustic dimension in each experiment, and happy/sad ratios.

A ratio of one suggests no meaningful between-conditions difference for that dimension; values above one indicate a greater mean value for the happy stimuli. Pitch values are in Hz, intensity in dB, duration in seconds. Pitch ratios were computed over ERB values (see text) and intensity and duration ratios were computed over log-transformed values.
