# Content Appropriateness (3-point Scale) — VoiceNet dimension guide

*Category:* Language & Recording · *code:* `vn_EXPL` · *slot:* 74

This dimension measures content appropriateness for different audiences (3-point scale). Merge the `__high` / `__low` LoRA from `laion/moss-voicenet-dimension-loras` at 25/50/75/100/125%. Costs are shifts vs. the 24-sample neutral baseline.

**TL;DR.** **Content Appropriateness (3-point Scale)** controls content appropriateness for different audiences (3-point scale). The **__high** LoRA shifts it +0.11 at 125% (worst cost: burst-blend -0.33); the **__low** LoRA shifts it -0.03 at 50% (worst cost: speech quality -0.08). The **__high** direction is the stronger, more reliable knob here.

## ▲ HIGH — Content Appropriateness (3-point Scale) __high

| dose | target | Δtarget | Δgenu | Δblend | Δqual |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| baseline (0%) | 0.026 | — | — | — | — |
| 25% | 0.020 | -0.01 | -0.04 | -0.04 | +0.11 |
| 50% | 0.061 | +0.04 | -0.09 | -0.23 | +0.05 |
| 75% | 0.074 | +0.05 | -0.04 | -0.34 | +0.03 |
| 100% | 0.114 | +0.09 | -0.11 | -0.38 | +0.00 |
| 125% ★ | 0.137 | +0.11 | -0.04 | -0.33 | +0.00 |

- **EmoNet emotion** — ↑ Amusement (+0.59), Teasing (+0.58), Impatience and Irritability (+0.53); ↓ Longing (-0.46), Affection (-0.45), Interest (-0.37)
- **VoiceNet dimension** — ↑ Conversational Style (+0.69), Arousal Shift (+0.62), Tempo (+0.55); ↓ Monologue Style (-0.48), Vocal-burst blend (-0.46), Whisper-Talk Style (-0.42)

Merging **Content Appropriateness (3-point Scale) __high** raises the dimension: at the recommended **125%** dose the measured Content Appropriateness (3-point Scale) score moves from a 0.03 baseline to 0.14 (a +0.11 shift). The dose-response is clean and monotonic — each step pushes the dimension further. That reach is a steep cost — the biggest hit is to **burst-blend** (-0.33); across the board genuineness -0.04, burst-blend -0.33, speech quality +0.00. Emotionally it reads as Amusement (r 0.59), Teasing (0.58) and Impatience and Irritability (0.53), and it moves away from Longing, Affection and Interest. On other voice dimensions it co-moves most with Conversational Style (0.69), Arousal Shift (0.62) and Tempo (0.55), while pulling down Monologue Style, Vocal-burst blend and Whisper-Talk Style. Practical call: merge __high at **100–125%**; expect Amusement and Conversational Style to rise and burst-blend to fall. If you don’t want Amusement bleeding in, offset it with a prompt cue toward Longing to keep the content appropriateness (3-point scale) shift without the side-effect.

## ▼ LOW — Content Appropriateness (3-point Scale) __low

| dose | target | Δtarget | Δgenu | Δblend | Δqual |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| baseline (0%) | 0.026 | — | — | — | — |
| 25% | 0.013 | -0.01 | +0.00 | +0.02 | -0.02 |
| 50% ★ | 0.000 | -0.03 | +0.02 | -0.03 | -0.08 |
| 75% | 0.030 | +0.00 | -0.06 | -0.15 | -0.01 |
| 100% | 0.051 | +0.03 | -0.07 | -0.29 | +0.05 |
| 125% | 0.043 | +0.02 | -0.09 | -0.16 | +0.07 |

- **EmoNet emotion** — ↑ Sourness (+0.49), Contempt (+0.41), Pride (+0.39); ↓ Longing (-0.38), Contemplation (-0.31), Infatuation (-0.25)
- **VoiceNet dimension** — ↑ Brightness (+0.57), Mask Resonance (+0.55), Tempo (+0.53); ↓ Cognitive Load (-0.43), Vocal-burst blend (-0.40), Vulnerability (-0.37)

Merging **Content Appropriateness (3-point Scale) __low** pulls down the dimension: at the recommended **50%** dose the measured Content Appropriateness (3-point Scale) score moves from a 0.03 baseline to 0.00 (a -0.03 shift). The dose-response is mostly ordered but noisy between doses. That reach is a modest cost — the biggest hit is to **speech quality** (-0.08); across the board genuineness +0.02, burst-blend -0.03, speech quality -0.08. Emotionally it reads as Sourness (r 0.49), Contempt (0.41) and Pride (0.39), and it moves away from Longing, Contemplation and Infatuation. On other voice dimensions it co-moves most with Brightness (0.57), Mask Resonance (0.55) and Tempo (0.53), while pulling down Cognitive Load, Vocal-burst blend and Vulnerability. Practical call: merge __low at **25–75%**; expect Sourness and Brightness to rise and speech quality to fall. If you don’t want Sourness bleeding in, offset it with a prompt cue toward Longing to keep the content appropriateness (3-point scale) shift without the side-effect.
