Recognition of affective prosody in bipolar and depressive conditions: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Decline of Affective Prosody Recognition with a Positivity Bias among Older Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

“…The number of answer options ranged from two to eight, with more than half (N = 12) providing participants with no fewer than six options. Despite studies in psychiatric disorders suggesting that task complexity may increase cognitive demands and affect perception difficulties (Hoekert et al, 2007;Tang et al, 2022; M. Zhang et al, 2022), our results indicated that neither the number of trials nor the number of answer options had association with between-study heterogeneity. It is noteworthy that these null findings do not definitively indicate the absence of a relationship between moderators and effect size variation (Hedges & Pigott, 2004).…”

“…To identify sources of between-study heterogeneity, we employed a mixed-effects model for meta-regression analyses to examine the contributions of various potential moderators. Moderators were considered if information was available from a sufficient number of studies (N ≥ 4; Tang et al, 2022;Velikonja et al, 2019). The regression coefficients, the Qmodel (QM) statistics, and the p-values were reported respectively.…”

Progress and Trends of Affective Prosody Research over 25 Years: A Bibliometrics-Based Visualization Analysis (1997–2021)

“…For one thing, fundamental research has extensively explored the hemispheric lateralization and neural networks of affective prosody (Durfee, Sheppard, Blake et al, 2021;Witteman et al, 2011). For another, clinical research either directly documented the outcomes of prosody-failure illnesses, such as aphasia and aprosodia (Benedetti et al, 2021), or revealed the functional deficits of affective prosody ability in patients with mental disorders, such as bipolar and depression disorders (Tang et al, 2022). Besides these two psychology-related disciplines, affective prosody also showed its presence in computer science and engineering.…”

“…This contains a set of factors, such as demographic backgrounds and sociocultural beliefs, and also includes the psycho-therapeutic interventions among patients with mental disorders. In the former concern, for instance, it has been suggested that the recognition accuracy of affective prosody decreases in the elderly (Demenescu et al, 2015), but such an aging effect was not acknowledged in clinical patients (Tang et al, 2022;. As most research only included similarly aged participants, especially in patients-oriented studies, this factor has been under-investigated.…”
