Gay Voice Project — All Data Plots


All statistical plots from the listener perception study. 85 listeners, 36 speakers. ← Back to the main project page.


Section 1: Overall Perception Accuracy

1A — Overall accuracy scatter. r = 0.287, R² = 0.083, p = 0.089.

1B — Accuracy broken down by listener gender.

1C — Accuracy broken down by listener sexual orientation.

1D — Accuracy broken down by listener familiarity with gay individuals.

1E — Correlation comparison barplot across demographic groups.


Section 2: Individual Listener Accuracy

2A — Distribution of per-listener accuracy scores.

2B — Listener accuracy vs. self-reported characteristics.


Section 3: Inter-Rater Reliability

3A — Inter-rater correlation matrix across all 85 listeners. ICC(2,k) = 0.964.

3B — Distribution of listener agreement by speaker.

3C — ICC broken down by listener demographics.


Section 4: Consensus vs. Accuracy

4A — Speaker consensus (SD of ratings) vs. absolute prediction error. r = 0.269, p = 0.113.

4B — Mean-based error vs. individual listener MAE by speaker.


Section 5: Speaker Characteristics & Clustering

5A — Speaker readability quadrants: agreement (SD) vs. accuracy (absolute error).

5B — Listener accuracy broken down by speakers' actual self-reported score.

5C1 — Hierarchical clustering dendrogram of speaker rating profiles.

5C2 — PCA variance diagnostics for speaker rating profiles.

5C3 — K-means clustering diagnostics (elbow plot).

5C4 — DBSCAN k-distance plot (2D PCA space).

5C4 — Clustering comparison in 2D PCA space.

5C5 — DBSCAN k-distance plot (50% variance).

5C5 — Clustering in 50% variance PCA space.

5C6 — DBSCAN k-distance plot (70% variance).

5C6 — Clustering in 70% variance PCA space.

5D1 — PC1 score vs. speakers' actual self-reported sexuality.

5D2 — PC1 score vs. mean listener rating per speaker.

5D3 — PC1 extremity vs. prediction error.

5E — Higher principal components vs. mean listener rating.

5F — Rating SD (disagreement) vs. PC2 score.

5G — Rating SD vs. non-consensus distance.


Section 6: Listener Response Bias

6A — Distribution of per-listener mean ratings across all speakers. Mean = 2.73.

6B — Listener religiosity vs. rating bias. r = 0.040, p = 0.721.

6C — Distribution of per-listener rating range (max − min across speakers).


Section 7: Group Interactions

7A — Gender × orientation interaction on perception accuracy.

7B — Match effects: accuracy when listener and speaker share orientation vs. not.


Section 8: Signal Detection Theory

8A — Distributions of d' (sensitivity) and c (criterion) across listeners. Mean d' = 0.11, Mean c = −0.08.

8B — d' (sensitivity) broken down by listener demographic group.


Section 9: Error by Speaker

9A — Mean-based prediction error for each individual speaker.

9B — Individual listener MAE for each speaker.
