Abstract:
Abstract:We investigated 14 German politicians to systematically analyze typical
boundary conditions in the perceptive charisma assessment, such as age and gen-
der of speakers and evaluators. Beyond, we surveyed the correlation between the
perceptive results and some prosodic correlates. The test data included 84 speech
samples of 7 female and 7 male speakers, aged from 31 to 68 years. The sam-
ples were extracted from publicly available videos. We also tested the influence of
the playback time on the assessment. Our preliminary results suggest that males
receive a higher mean charisma assessment. We observed interrelations between
assessment and age group of speakers and listeners, while the sample duration had
a less significant effect.
