Why is it important?

This study explored if self-reported personality or emotional reactivity was related to sound acceptability. Some personality traits and negative emotional reactivity were found to relate to sound acceptability. This suggests that using personality and emotional reactivity measures can help identify those that are more likely to have low sound acceptability. Clinical applications of this are discussed.

Perspectives

This was an interesting project to complete remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed conducting the study.
