A series of six studies was designed to examine the effects of subjects' appearance on listeners' judgments of nasal speech and to examine the effects of nasal speech on viewers' judgments of attractiveness. In three studies, pictures of male and female subjects with varying degrees of orofacial clefts were paired with tape-recorded speech samples with varying degrees of nasality, and judges rated speech acceptability. Results of two-way analysis of variance failed to support the idea that appearance has an effect on ratings of nasality. In three other studies, the same stimuli were used to examine the effects of nasal speech on judges' ratings of appearance. Results of a two-way analysis of variance indicated that nasality had an effect on ratings of appearance. As the severity of nasality increased, ratings of attractiveness decreased. Results imply that a decrease in nasality may enhance the way persons with cleft lips are perceived cosmetically.
设计了一系列六项研究来检验受试者的外貌对听众鼻音言语判断的影响，并检验鼻音言语对观众吸引力判断的影响。在三项研究中，将患有不同程度口面部裂隙的男性和女性受试者的照片与具有不同鼻音程度的录音语音样本配对，然后由评判者对语音可接受性进行评分。双向方差分析的结果未能支持外貌对鼻音评分有影响这一观点。在另外三项研究中，使用相同的刺激物来检验鼻音言语对评判者外貌评分的影响。双向方差分析的结果表明，鼻音对外貌评分有影响。随着鼻音严重程度的增加，吸引力评分降低。结果表明，减少鼻音可能会改善唇裂患者在外观上被他人感知的方式。
