However, limited research has explored personality traits among speech-language pathologists (SLP), particularly across professional development stages. This study compared certified SLPs, Communication Disorders students, and a comparison group from the general population, examining differences in personality dimensions and the relationship between clinical experience and personality among SLPs. A total of 359 participants completed the NEO Five-Factor Inventory, assessing Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness. Certified SLPs also completed a professional background questionnaire. MANOVA revealed significant group differences across all five personality traits, with SLPs scoring higher on each dimension. Neuroticism and Agreeableness had the largest effect sizes, with SLPs characterized by profoundly elevated Neuroticism and Agreeableness. Among SLPs, Neuroticism levels varied with experience, peaking among those with 5–16 years of practice and declining in those with >16 years. SLP students exhibited higher Neuroticism and lower Agreeableness compared to the comparison group participants. SLPs demonstrate a distinct personality profile marked by elevated Neuroticism and Agreeableness, aligning with the previously described Compassionately Reactive Style—defined by emotional sensitivity, concern for others, and a strong helping drive. While supportive of relational care, this emotional style may also heighten the risk of emotional exhaustion without appropriate support. Neuroticism tends to rise during mid-career stages and decline later. These findings highlight important considerations for promoting emotional well-being among SLPs throughout their careers</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49175,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Communication Disorders","volume":"118 ","pages":"Article 106584"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145318793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We examined how these features influenced affective prosody recognition in children with ASC. The meta-analysis comprised 16 empirical studies.

Moreover, valence was a significant moderator. The difference between ASC and TD children was greater for positive-valence than negative-valence emotional expressions.

Furthermore, children with ASC exhibited greater difficulty recognizing affective prosody embedded in semantically complex contexts. In basic affective prosody recognition, children with ASC appear particularly sensitive to emotional valence. This finding is consistent across cultures.
