To determine the effect of listener's comprehension on speakers' height and weight judgments, a total of 40 speakers, 20 Americans (10 females and 10 males) and 20 non-Americans representing various nationalities (10 females and 10 males), recorded a standard prose passage. A total of three master tapes were constructed to represent the three experimental conditions: (1) American speakers' readings in English, (2) foreign speakers' reading in their native languages, and (3) foreign speakers' readings in English. A total of 30 judges, 15 females and 15 males, participated in three sessions, one for each of the three master tapes, and were asked to provide direct estimations of the height and weight of each speaker from the tapes. Listeners' comprehension does not appear to play a major role in height and weight judgmental tasks.
为了确定听众理解能力对说话者身高和体重判断的影响，共有40名说话者参与，其中20名美国人（10名女性和10名男性）以及20名代表不同国籍的非美国人（10名女性和10名男性）录制了一篇标准散文段落。总共制作了三盘母带以代表三种实验条件：（1）美国说话者用英语朗读，（2）外国说话者用其母语朗读，以及（3）外国说话者用英语朗读。共有30名评委，15名女性和15名男性，分三个场次参与，每个场次对应一盘母带，并被要求直接估计母带中每位说话者的身高和体重。听众的理解能力在身高和体重判断任务中似乎并未起到主要作用。
