Paralanguage as a tool for shaping stress response in Listeners: Multimodal physiological sensing study

These findings highlight the potential of paralanguage, specifically soothing voice intonation, in accelerating physiological stress recovery. The observed modulation of cortisol and PFC activity suggests that auditory interventions incorporating emotional prosody could enhance stress regulation strategies. Future research should explore individual differences in response to paralanguage-based interventions and their broader clinical applications.
