1. Dr.
Anuradha Sovani, Professor and Head, Department of|
Psychology, successfully completed a collaborative study
with the School of Health Sciences, University of East
Anglia, UK. The work involved a Biobehavioral study focusing on sex
differences and menstrual cycle effects on speech and voice on Hindi -
English bilingual speakers. This stage of the work thus focused on
speech production, since Hindi has a four way contrast for voicing which
adds to the language complexity. This would also allow for testing of
robustness of findings with English speech sounds.
The next phase of the study now about to begin would involve speech
perception, using a Dichotic Listening task. The study has been passed by
the Ethics Committees of SNDT Women’s University as well as University of
East Anglia. The collaboration strengthened ties between the two
institutions, and added value to the Psychology laboratory with the new
focus on evolutionary psychology and some digital recording equipment.
Dr. Anuradha Sovani, Professor and Head, Department of Psychology, is
currently working on a grant proposal with State University of New York and
Upstate Medical University, US to apply for NIH Fogarty funding to work with
Early Interventions in a Developing Nation: A school based awareness
program on Mental health awareness. The work will focus on building
inclusive attitudes among school students of standard eighth and ninth,
using Cognitive Behavioral principles for which Dr. Sovani will
provide training and cultural insights. |
