Abstract

Many studies were proposed to discuss acoustic correlates of stress in recent years. Considering some inconsistent experiment results, we supposed that stress should be categorized into long-term and short-term stress in this topic, and the trend of short-term stress induced by workload may be affected by long-term stress. This study contains three parts: first, we proposed an acoustic feature set chosen by feature selection, which can be considered as a measurement of the level of long-term stress; second, we showed that this set is immune to short-term stress in stress classification tests; finally, we observed some particular voice features mentioned in previous researches in our experiment and the results may imply that short-term stress trend is in connection with the level of long-term stress. In short, long-term and shot-term stress should be discussed separately in future researches for clear and explicit conclusions.
