Effect of Auditory vs. Textual Anchors on Vocal Severity Ratings (Accepted for publication in the Journal of Voice)

چکیده
This study investigated anchor type (textual, auditory, or a combination) and effect on rater reliability. Forty judges were selected to rate voice samples of various voice quality types in terms of vocal severity using four different methods (No Anchor, Textual Anchor, Auditory Anchor, and Combined Textual/Auditory Anchors). Results indicated that auditory anchors produced significantly improved interjudge reliability across all voices as well as improved reliability for rating mild voice disorders. Textual anchors showed improvement over the no anchors condition, but were not as strong as the use of auditory anchors. However, combined textual/auditory anchors generally showed the greatest degree of reliability.
