女性的身体特征与其配偶质量的标志呈正相关。先前关于男性对女性面部吸引力的判断的研究表明，当男性自身的睾丸激素水平相对较高时，他们对女性面部的女性特征表现出更强的偏好。这样的结果可能反映了更强的偏好高品质的配偶时，交配动机是强大的和/或以下成功的男性-男性竞争。鉴于这些发现，当前的研究调查了睾酮是否对男性对女性声音中女性特征的偏好产生类似的影响。男性对女性化与男性化版本的女性和男性的声音的偏好进行了评估，每周五次测试，并在每次测试中收集唾液样本。分析表明，男性的声音偏好与他们的睾丸激素水平之间没有关系。男性倾向于认为男性化的男性和女性的声音更占主导地位，这也与他们的睾丸激素水平无关。总之，目前的研究结果表明，睾丸激素相关的变化，以前报告的男性的面孔的看法，性二态性特征的反应不会发生男性的声音的看法。
Feminine physical characteristics in women are positively correlated with markers of their mate quality. Previous research on men’s judgments of women’s facial attractiveness suggests that men show stronger preferences for feminine characteristics in women’s faces when their own testosterone levels are relatively high. Such results could reflect stronger preferences for high quality mates when mating motivation is strong and/or following success in male-male competition. Given these findings, the current study investigated whether a similar effect of testosterone occurs for men’s preferences for feminine characteristics in women’s voices. Men’s preferences for feminized versus masculinized versions of women’s and men’s voices were assessed in five weekly test sessions and saliva samples were collected in each test session. Analyses showed no relationship between men’s voice preferences and their testosterone levels. Men’s tendency to perceive masculinized men’s and women’s voices as more dominant was also unrelated to their testosterone levels. Together, the results of the current study suggest that testosterone-linked changes in responses to sexually dimorphic characteristics previously reported for men's perceptions of faces do not occur for men's perceptions of voices.
