As part of an investigation into the nonverbal information in human speech, a pilot study with depressive patients was designed in order to model the global affective state as a function of time and in terms of speech parameters. Over a two-week period, six patients were examined six times at two-day intervals under comparable experimental conditions. The psychopathologic status of these patients was assessed during a psychiatric exploration half an hour before the actual examination was carried out. Besides the solution of the baisc methodological problems, a principal goal of this study was to test the ability and cooperation of depressive patients when asked to speak in the laboratory. It turned out that even scalar parameters such as energy and dynamics give insight into the intraindividual variation of global affective state, and that the examination procedure is practicable even it patients are considerably handicapped by their illness.
作为一项关于人类言语中非言语信息的调查的一部分，设计了一项针对抑郁症患者的初步研究，以便将整体情感状态建模为时间的函数，并根据言语参数进行建模。在两周的时间里，六名患者在可比的实验条件下，每隔两天接受六次检查。在实际检查前半小时的精神科检查中评估了这些患者的心理病理状态。除了解决基本的方法学问题外，本研究的一个主要目标是测试抑郁症患者在被要求在实验室中讲话时的能力和合作情况。结果表明，即使是诸如能量和动态等标量参数也能洞察整体情感状态的个体内变化，并且即使患者因疾病而严重受限，检查程序也是可行的。
