What tone of voice do teenagers prefer to hear? AskADoctor DailyHealthTips HealthcareMagic
For children, a parent's tone of voice can make all the difference to their emotions and responses. A recent study found that teens are far less likely to respond to their mother if she uses a"controlling" tone of voice.
Featuring in the journal Developmental Psychology, the study included 486 males and 514 females in the target age group. The team defined controlling tones as those that sounded like an attempt to push or coerce the subjects into taking a specific action, while the autonomy-supportive tone instead expressed encouragement and support.
Those who heard a controlling tone of voice had a more negative reaction to the instructions. Conversely, those who listened to a mother using an autonomy-supportive tone of voice had positive responses, especially in comparison with those who heard the messages in a neutral tone of voice. Teens, just like younger children, thrive on positive attention. It is crucial to allow a teenager to talk, and just as important to listen carefully to what they have to say.
As the authors write,"Virtually nothing is known about the role that tone of voice may play in motivating interactions." This study, although relatively small, is the first step toward developing an understanding.
