I wonder what kind of input (if any) theadvancedapes has to offer on this matter. I'm going to read this in the immediate future and come back with some worth discussing.
Well, from reading the article I'm not really sure what to conclude. The study sample was relatively small. I'm not sure whether the participants in India, Ghana, and United States were representative of citizens from those countries, or whether they lived in urban/rural settings, etc. These are all factors to consider. Furthermore, it doesn't seem like the differences between participants were all that significant, other than the fact that people from the United States reported no positive emotions/feelings towards the voices. Overall, I wouldn't be too surprised if her conclusion is proven validated with further research. Seems like a good start but also very preliminary.
