Imago Animi Sermo Est – Speech Is the Mirror of the Mind: the Effect of Vocal Expression on Preferences

We compare non-vocal elicitation modes (e.g., expressing one’s choice by pushing a button) to vocal preference elicitation (e.g., expressing one’s choice by speech). Three experiments reveal vocally expressing one’s choice fosters decisions that are in line with individuals’ automatic, initial emotional reactions (e.g., snacks higher in calorie content).
