Purpose : This study investigated both the ability of children to rate nasality and the relationship of those ratings to expert ratings and social acceptance judgments. Method : A total of 10 speech samples were judged for nasality by 44 children ranging in age from 8 to 11 and by an expert judge. Listeners rated nasality on a 3-point response scale. The peer listeners also made five social acceptance ratings about each speaker. Results : Kappas for interrater reliability were moderate to substantial. There was no difference between peer ratings and expert ratings. As ratings of nasality increased, social acceptance ratings became more negative. Conclusion : Professionals who evaluate and treat children with cleft palate should consider the negative social consequences of even mild hypernasality.
本研究调查了儿童对鼻音进行评分的能力，以及这些评分与专家评分和社会接受度判断之间的关系。方法：44名年龄在8至11岁之间的儿童和一名专家评委对总共10个语音样本的鼻音进行了评判。听众根据3分制反应量表对鼻音进行评分。同龄听众还对每位说话者进行了五项社会接受度评分。结果：评分者间信度的卡帕值为中等至较高。同龄人的评分与专家的评分之间没有差异。随着鼻音评分的增加，社会接受度评分变得更加负面。结论：评估和治疗腭裂儿童的专业人员应考虑即使是轻度高鼻音的负面社会后果。
