Table 1.
Results from acoustical analyses comparing all tested conditions. Analyses were conducted with Praat (Boersma and Weenink, 2013)
| F0, mean (SD) | dB, mean (SD) | Speech rate, mean (SD) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Autonomy-supportive speech | 201.44 (49.00) | 52.94 (3.04) | 0.20 (0.03) |
| Autonomy-supportive prosody | 205.99 (59.64) | 53.23 (3.04) | 0.19 (0.03) |
| Controlling speech | 182.32 (43.97) | 59.04 (4.17) | 0.23 (0.04) |
| Controlling prosody | 183.05 (47.51) | 58.63 (4.06) | 0.24 (0.06) |
| Neutral | 164.72 (46.51) | 53.09 (3.94) | 0.23 (0.05) |
Notes. F0 = fundamental frequency; dB = mean intensity as measured in decibel; speech rate = seconds per syllable.
