摘要： Background:The effect of names on psychology and behavior has been widely studied,butmost studies donot distinguish between the effects of name pronunciation and semantics.Aims: This study focuseson the pronunciation of Chinese names,addressingtwo questions. First, does the pronunciation of nameendings affect individual personality and behavior? Second, what isthe underlying mechanism?Methods:Study 1 usedpeerassessmentsto examinepersonalitytraits in two college classes, and explored the relationshipbetween name pronunciation and personality. Study 2investigated whether name pronunciation correlated with the social behaviors of criminals and heroes. Study 3 tested our proposed mechanism by filming three male models pronouncing 50 names and then asked college students to rate the emotional valence of the videos.Results:Studies 1 and 2 revealed that namepronunciation isrelated to personality and behavior. We propose a novel mechanism: the degree of others’ mouth opening during namepronunciationinfluencesjudgments of others’ emotional valence, shapinganindividual’s emotional ecosystem.Study 3 supportedthis hypothesis, showing that names with open-mouth vowel endings were rated more positively than those with close-mouth vowel endings.Conclusions: The pronunciation of name endings has an effect on personality and behavior. This studyprovides evidence for “the model of the pronunciation of name endings and the establishment of individual emotional ecosystems” andreveals a pronunciation mechanism by which names influence the formation of personality and social behavior in Chinese culture.
