我们调查了男性对女性视觉吸引力和声音吸引力之间的关系。我们记录了 34 名女性讲四个元音的情况，并测量了峰值频率、前五个谐波频率、前五个共振峰频率和共振峰色散。这些妇女还被拍照（头部照片），进行了一些身体测量并记录了她们的年龄。这些声音被播放给男性评委，他们被要求评估录音中女性的年龄和声音吸引力。然后，这些人被要求评估这些照片的吸引力。男人们对于什么是有吸引力的声音和面孔有着强烈的一致意见。拥有迷人面孔的女性有着迷人的声音。较高频率的声音被认为更具吸引力并且属于年轻女性（产生的最低频率是一般女性年龄的良好指标）。体型较大的女性声音较低，人们认为她们的面孔和声音不太有吸引力。正如预测的那样，个子较高的女性共振峰色散较窄。结果表明，不同的吸引力衡量标准是一致的，并且表明了相似的品质，例如女性年龄、体型以及可能的荷尔蒙状况。 (C) 2003 年由 Elsevier Science Ltd 代表动物行为研究协会出版。
We investigated the relation between visual and vocal attractiveness in women as judged by men. We recorded 34 women speaking four vowels and measured the peak frequency, the first five harmonic frequencies, the first five formant frequencies and formant dispersion. The women were also photographed (head shot), several body measures were taken and their ages were recorded. The voices were played to male judges who were asked to assess the women's age and vocal attractiveness from the recording. The men were then asked to assess the attractiveness of the photographs. Men were in strong agreement on which was an attractive voice and face; and women with attractive faces had attractive voices. Higher-frequency voices were assessed as being more attractive and as belonging to younger women (the lowest frequency produced is a good indicator of age in women in general). Larger women had lower voices and were judged as having less attractive faces and voices. Taller women had narrower formant dispersion as predicted. The results imply that different measures of attractiveness are in agreement and signal similar qualities, such as female age, body size and possibly hormonal profile.
