Whilst largely neglected in the literature to date, there are calls to consider the significance of voice content for reducing voice‐related distress. However, no quantitative and comprehensive measure of voice content with suitability for research and clinical use exists. This pilot study aimed to demonstrate preliminary psychometric properties of a newly developed measure, the Perth Voice Content Questionnaire (PVCQ), designed to measure the intensity and themes of positively and negatively valenced voice content, primarily of the dominant voice. The PVCQ and measures of voice severity and related beliefs were completed by 47 voice‐hearing participants. The measure was found to be internally consistent, loaded onto two distinct factors of positive and negative content, and these factors were associated with voice‐related distress and negative beliefs about voices and positive beliefs about voices, respectively, indicating good validity. The PVCQ offers the first self‐report measure of voice content, with preliminary psychometric properties indicating its suitability for clinical and research use. 10.1002/cpp.2991 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ |
