Tory Higgins, the theory distinguishes among three components of self-concept: the actual self, the ideal self, and the ought self. These refer respectively to how individuals perceive themselves, how they aspire to be, and how they believe they are obligated to be. Emotional well-being, self-esteem,...

Background:

Nonbinary individuals often face unique challenges related to voice and communication.
Understanding the interplay between voice experiences, handicap, and communicative competence is crucial for this population.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore the relationship between voice experiences, perceived voice handicap, and communicative competence in nonbinary individuals.
To identify factors influencing voice-related experiences among nonbinary adults.

Main Methods:

An observational, cross-sectional study was conducted with 30 nonbinary adults (mean age 28).
Participants completed validated questionnaires assessing voice experiences (VENI-Br), voice handicap, and self-assessed communication competence.
Spearman's rank correlation and multiple linear regression analyses were employed.

Main Results:

A strong positive correlation was found between perceived voice handicap and voice experiences (VENI-Br total score, physical, and interactional factors).
Voice experiences were not significantly correlated with communicative competence skills.
Perceived voice handicap emerged as the sole significant predictor of voice-related experiences in nonbinary individuals (R² = 0.649).

Conclusions:

Perceived voice handicap substantially influences the voice experiences of nonbinary individuals.
Voice experiences in this population are independent of their communicative competence.
These findings highlight the importance of addressing voice concerns related to handicap in nonbinary individuals.
