The group comparisons between males and females were made using the Wilcoxon-rank-sum test. SD(Δ) = standard deviation of the difference of relative frequencies female and relative frequencies male. Positive z-scores indicate that the emotional portrayals had higher identification rates when spoken by female actors', whereas negative z-scores denote that the performance was higher when the emotions were spoken by male actors'. The tests were conducted for each emotion separately, across all emotions and stimulus types. All p-values were Bonferroni corrected.
