虽然有越来越多的研究，以及如何音高特征被认为是有吸引力的或讨人喜欢的，有很少的研究调查如何说话人的印象是有吸引力的或讨人喜欢的影响他/她的对话者的言语行为。最近的研究表明，吸引力和可爱性不仅会影响说话人的音高特征，而且会影响韵律夹带。它已被证明，扬声器如何同步他们的音高功能相对于他们的对话者是受这种印象。本研究调查音高收敛，检查是否扬声器变得更加相似的谈话过程中，根据感知的吸引力和/或可爱。因此，在两个层面上，在整个对话（全球）以及转向（本地）的预期音高收敛进行了研究。一项速配实验的结果显示，随着时间的推移，说话者在全球和本地的语域和音域上变得越来越相似。此外，音高收敛的程度很大程度上受到感知的吸引力和可爱性的影响，吸引力和可爱性之间以及全局和局部水平之间的影响不同。
While there is a growing body of research on which and how pitch features are perceived as attractive or likable, there are few studies investigating how the impression of a speaker as attractive or likable affects the speech behavior of his/her interlocutor. Recent studies have shown that perceived attractiveness and likability may not only have an effect on a speaker’s pitch features in isolation but also on the prosodic entrainment. It has been shown that how speakers synchronize their pitch features relatively to their interlocutor is affected by such impressions. This study investigates pitch convergence, examining whether speakers become more similar over the course of a conversation depending on perceived attractiveness and/or likability. The expected pitch convergence is thereby investigated on two levels, over the entire conversation (globally) as well as turn-wise (locally). The results from a speed dating experiment with 98 mixed-sex dialogues of heterosexual singles show that speakers become more similar globally and locally over time both in register and range. Furthermore, the degree of pitch convergence is greatly affected by perceived attractiveness and likability with effects differing between attractiveness and likability as well as between the global and the local level.
