Effects of voice pitch on social perceptions vary with relational mobility and homicide rate
Fundamental frequency (fo) is the most perceptually salient vocal acoustic parameter, yet little is known about how its perceptual influence varies across societies. We examined how fo affects key social perceptions and how socioecological variables modulate these effects in 2,647 adult listeners sa...

We examined how fo affects key social perceptions and how socioecological variables modulate these effects in 2,647 adult listeners sampled from 44 locations across 22 nations. Low male fo increased men’s perceptions of formidability and prestige, especially in societies with higher homicide rates and greater relational mobility in which male intrasexual competition may be more intense and rapid identification of highstatus competitors may be exigent. High female fo increased women’s perceptions of flirtatiousness where relational mobility was lower and threats to mating relationships may be greater. These results indicate that the influence of fo on social perceptions depends on socioecological variables, including those related to competition for status and mates. 2024-01-01T08:00:00Z text application/pdf https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/soss_research/3920 info:doi/10.1177/09567976231222288 https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/context/soss_research/article/5178/viewcontent/aung_et_al_2024_effects_of_voice_pitch_on_social_perceptions_vary_with_relational_mobility_and_homicide_rate.pdf http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ Research Collection School of Social Sciences eng Institutional Knowledge at Singapore Management University cross-cultural formidability fundamental frequency voice pitch attractiveness open data preregistration Anthropology Categorical Data Analysis |
