- ... that voice confrontation is the phenomenon of people disliking the sound of their own voices?
- Source:
In fact, not liking the sound of your own voice is so common that there’s a term for it: voice confrontation.
from Jaekl, Philip (12 July 2018). "The real reason the sound of your own voice makes you cringe". The Guardian. Retrieved 27 April 2020.
- ALT1:... that studies on voice confrontation show that the average person dislikes their own voice because it reveals dissatisfying aspects of their own personality?
- Source:
Through their experiments, the late psychologists Phil Holzemann and Clyde Rousey concluded in 1966 that voice confrontation arises not only from a difference in expected frequency, but also a striking revelation that occurs upon the realisation of all that your voice conveys. Not only does it sound different than you expect; through what are called “extra-linguistic cues”, it reveals aspects of your personality that you can only fully perceive upon hearing it from a recording. These include aspects such as your anxiety level, indecision, sadness, anger, and so on.

Hi, MarkH21, this is a fascinating subject and I'm willing to review, but right now it's an immediate fail because it isn't long enough. It needs to be at least 1500 characters of prose, and right now it's only 631 characters. —valereee (talk) 15:10, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Valereee: Thanks for starting the review! Sorry, I anticipated fleshing out the article within a few hours of creating the DYK nomination but I didn’t get around to it yet. Will do so soon! — MarkH21talk 15:37, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
- No worries, just ping me when you're ready! 15:44, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Valereee: Article updated! Working on the QPQ now. — MarkH21talk 20:45, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Valereee: QPQ done. Also just want to note that I personally prefer ALT4/ALT5 as more interesting than the others. — MarkH21talk 09:02, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

- I'd like to build an ALT around the fact that most people can't identify their own voice within 5 seconds? —valereee (talk) 20:52, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Valereee: Sure! I just added ALT6, but feel free to modify it! — MarkH21talk 21:16, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
- Checking alts now:
- ALT0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 cited at the sentence. —valereee (talk) 16:47, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
Good to go with any of the offered ALTs. Nom prefers 4 or 5, I prefer 6, but I actually think this is such a high-interest subject that any of the alts work. —valereee (talk) 16:50, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- I'm actually okay with any of the ALTs, and I'm not so sure I have a preference anymore :) — MarkH21talk 20:06, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

editHey, Megaman en m, I'm not sure I see either of those problems -- two of the most heavily used sources are Time and Guardian, from 2017/2018. —valereee (talk) 13:42, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
- As this is a psychological article, I'd like to see more psychology sources. Those exist, but they're all about 50 years old (except for the one that got added after my edits). As far as I could tell they were also all primary sources. The news sources are valid, but for science articles I'd prefer to have sources from journals or textbooks.--Megaman en m (talk) 14:09, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
- It’s a valid point; I’ll look for more recent academic sources that describe voice confrontation. — MarkH21talk 14:19, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
- This 2012 book discusses these experiments, as well as other experiments during the 1970s, which could be used to further expand the article. It at least provides a secondary academic reference. It appears that most post-1970s references, including a 1995 book by Holzman, actually call the phenomenon "self-confrontation". — MarkH21talk 15:32, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
