ABSTRACT

1. Objectives This study was performed by means of perceptual evaluation of the voices of Sasang Constitution. 2. Methods 73 female subjects were classified by means of 3 kinds of Questionnaire papers(QSCCⅡ, QSCCI, Sasang Pattern Identification Questionnaire). So they were categorized into 3 groups, 23 Soyangin, 28 Taeumin and 22 Soeumin. 73 voice samples were presented three times to a group of 5 judges. The time interval between ratings was 14 days. The four goals of this study were to evaluate the intraobserver reliability between each rating, to evaluate the interobserver reliability, to evaluate the reliability between the each rating and Questionnaire result and to make the notion of the consensus of Sasang Constitution's Voice. 3. Results & Conclusions The intraobserver reliability between the first and second rating showed significance statistically among all observers. And the intraobserver reliability between the second and third rating showed significance except one observer. The interobserver reliability among the three ratings showed significance statistically except one to two observers in the first rating and other one to another one in the second rating. In the reliability between the each rating and Questionnaire result, one in the first rating, other one in the second rating and another two in the third rating showed significance. To make the notion of the consensus of Sasang Constitution's Voice, classification into 4 categories was made: clear/hoarse, high/low, fast/slow, powerful/powerless. The voice of Soyangin group was classified as powerful and fast, and that of Taeumin group as powerful, hoarse and low and that of Soeumin group as powerless and slow.
