“…[19,21] However, contrary to these studies, there are also results suggesting no difference between the speaking and articulation rates of men and women. [22,30,31] İyigün et al [25] , who examined the reading rates of Turkish-speaking individuals, have also reported similar results.…”

“…This result is supported by many previous studies. [6,19,22,30,31] In contrast, some researchers found a higher speaking rate in males than in females. [23,27] The fact that the languages that were studied were quite different (e.g., Dutch, Nepal Indo-Aryan or Russian) may be the reason for the difference in terms of gender in these studies.…”

“…[23,29] Although some studies reported that men have a higher articulation rate than women, this difference was not statistically significant. [19,22] The difference between male and female individuals in terms of the articulation rate was explained through various facts reported in the literature.…”

“…[2,21] However, most of the studies report that speaking and articulation rates vary by age. [5,[22][23][24] Studies often suggest that young people speak faster than older ones. [21,22] One study found that reading rates varied by age for Turkish-speaking adults.…”

Objectives: One of the main prosodic components of language is the rate. Speaking and articulation rates are two different measurements that reflect various aspects of each other. This study mainly aimed to present preliminary normative data related to speaking rate, reading rate, articulation rate and articulation rate in reading for Turkish-speaking adults and also aimed to compare these four measurements in terms of gender. Methods: The present study included 84 university students (42 males and 42 females) aged between 19-24 years old whose native language was Turkish. Power analysis was calculated based on the articulation rate. Speech and articulation rates were measured by taking 400-syllable conversational speech samples from each participant. A text was used from the Adult II section of the Turkish version of the Stanford Binet Intelligence Test to measure their reading rates. The speaking and reading samples obtained were recorded with a voice recorder and analyzed with the PRAAT software. Results: There was a statistically significant difference both between their speaking and reading rates, and between articulation rate and articulation rate in reading. Male participants had significantly higher articulation rates in speaking and reading than females. Conclusion: The present study provided evidence that the speech rate is low and articulation rate is high in Turkish. It concluded that the significant difference between articulation rates by gender in many languages is also valid for Turkish.

Predicting the trajectories of alliance formation that the patient is likely to establish with the therapist during treatment, even before their first meeting, can help prevent the potentially harmful consequences of deterioration in alliance, such as poor outcome and premature dropout. The present study aimed to examine the ability of four pretreatment acoustic markers to predict the alliance that is likely to be formed in the course of treatment: F0 span, speech rate, pause proportion and jitter. Data from 560 observations of 38 patients were collected as part of an ongoing randomized clinical trial of short‐term psychotherapy for major depressive disorder. The acoustic markers were measured using high‐quality recordings at baseline, before the patient and therapist ever met or had any type of communication. A multilevel model was used to examine the ability of the four acoustic markers to predict the slopes of alliance formation in the course of treatment, all markers being introduced in the same model. The clinical utility of the acoustic markers was explored in two case studies. The model explained 22% of the variance in alliance formation. Higher levels of both jitter and pause proportion at baseline predicted less strengthening of the alliance in the course of treatment. The findings, which should be replicated in larger samples, suggest that much of the therapeutic alliance can be predicted based on the acoustic characteristics of the patient's voice in the first 3 min of their intake, before they even meet their therapist.
