女性的脸、声音、身体和气味的吸引力似乎是相互关联的，这表明它们反映了一种共同的特征，比如女性气质。我们采用了新颖的方法来测试女性声音和面部吸引力以及女性气质之间的相互关系。在研究1中，我们研究了两个女性群体中面部女性特征与音高之间的关系。在这两个人群中，面部特征的女性特征与音高呈正相关。在研究2中，我们从低音和高音两组女性中构建了面部平均值，并确定了男性对结果原型的偏好。男性更喜欢嗓音高的女性和嗓音低的女性的平均脸都是红色的。在研究3中，我们测试了研究2的发现是否也适用于构成原型的自然面孔。事实上，男性和女性都更喜欢声音高的女性的真实面孔，而不是声音低的女性。因为女性气质的多种暗示是相互关联的，而且女性化的女性可能比相对男性化的女性具有更高的生殖适应性，男性对女性气质的多种暗示的偏好可能是适应性的。(c) 2005爱思唯尔公司版权所有。
The attractiveness of women's faces, voices, bodies, and odors appear to be interrelated, suggesting that they reflect a common trait such as femininity. We invoked novel approaches to test the interrelationships between female vocal and facial attractiveness and femininity. In Study 1, we examined the relationship between facial-metric femininity and voice pitch in two female populations. In both populations, facial-metric femininity correlated positively with pitch of voice. In Study 2, we constructed facial averages from two populations of women with low- and high-pitched voices and determined men's preferences for resulting prototypes. Men prefer-red averaged faces of women from both populations with higher pitched voices to those with lower pitched voices. In Study 3, we tested whether the findings from Study 2 also extended to the natural faces that made up the prototypes. Indeed, men and women preferred real faces of women with high-pitched voices to those with low-pitched voices. Because multiple cues to femininity are related, and feminine women may have greater reproductive fitness than do relatively masculine women, male preferences for multiple cues to femininity are potentially adaptive.
