Abstract: | Male (17) and female (17) university students evaluated emotional tones of speech in which white noise was played to one ear and unknown speech to the other ear. The results showed that (1) the left ear is more sensible to emotional speech, more precisely, there exists a left ear advantage for positive emotions, and (2) there are sex differences in evaluating emotional tones. The findings are discussed in relation to the hypothesis of differential hemisphere specialization for positive and negative emotion. |
