Area of Science:

  • Psychology and Speech-Language Pathology
  • Explores the intersection of personality traits and vocal health conditions.

Background:

  • Previous research has not consistently identified specific personality traits associated with voice disorders.
  • Understanding personality correlates of voice disorders can offer new diagnostic and therapeutic insights.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between voice disorders and personality traits using the NEO-FFI Big Five inventory.
  • To compare personality profiles of individuals with voice disorders against a non-dysphonic control group.

Main Methods:

  • Compared 100 patients with voice disorders (24 pathologies) to 149 non-dysphonic individuals.
  • Utilized the NEO-FFI personality inventory to assess five personality scales.
  • Employed categorical and continuous approaches to analyze differences across various pathologies.

Main Results:

  • Openness was the only personality trait showing a statistically significant difference between dysphonic and non-dysphonic groups (P < 0.001).
  • Individuals with structural pathologies exhibited lower Openness scores compared to controls (P < 0.001).
  • Pathologies characterized by high organicity were also associated with lower Openness scores (P < 0.001).

Conclusions:

  • Openness consistently differentiated individuals with and without voice disorders, and among specific pathologies.
  • Analyzing a spectrum of voice pathologies provides a novel perspective on the voice disorder-personality association.
  • Findings suggest personality, particularly Openness, plays a role in the complex etiology of voice disorders.
