Karpf, Anne (2018) Listen! The human voice as a neglected psycho-social research topic and resource. Journal of Psychosocial Studies, 11 (2). pp. 33-60. ISSN 1478-6737
There is an excellent fit between the speaking voice and the psychosocial approach, in that the voice connects inner and outer worlds while simultaneously challenging such a division. It remains, however, relatively neglected, both as a psychosocial research resource and as a topic for the psychosocial researcher. This article argues that, while researchers are developing increasingly sophisticated ways of harnessing visual research methods, the oral dimension remains marginalised, with voice almost invariably collapsed into speech. Despite the methodological challenges created by using the voice as a psychosocial research tool, attention to the paralinguistic has the potential to enrich research and deepen our psychosocial understanding of human behaviour.
