此前的研究表明，女性对男性面孔和声音中男性气质的偏好存在差异。女性对声音男性气质表现出一致的偏好，但对面部男性气质的偏好差异很大。在个体中，声音有吸引力的男性往往拥有有吸引力的面孔，这表明这些线索可能传达共同的信息。在这里，我们测试了对男性声音男性气质特别强烈偏好的男性和女性是否也对男性面部男性气质也有更强烈的偏好。我们发现男性气质偏好在各种方式之间呈正相关。我们还研究了面部和声音偏好之间关系的潜在影响。与不使用口服避孕药的女性相比，使用口服避孕药的女性表现出较弱的面部和声音男性气质偏好，以及跨方式的男性气质偏好之间的关联较弱。总的来说，这些结果表明，男性的面孔和声音可能揭示了有关发送者的男性气质的常见信息，并且感知者可以结合使用这些多种质量线索来确定个人的整体质量。 Crown 版权所有 (C) 2008 由 Elsevier Inc. 出版。保留所有权利。
Previous studies have reported variation in women's preferences for masculinity in men's faces and voices. Women show consistent preferences for vocal masculinity, but highly variable preferences for facial masculinity. Within individuals, men with attractive voices tend to have attractive faces, suggesting common information may be conveyed by these cues. Here we tested whether men and women with particularly strong preferences for male vocal masculinity also have stronger preferences for male facial masculinity. We found that masculinity preferences were positively correlated across modalities. We also investigated potential influences on these relationships between face and voice preferences. Women using oral contraceptives showed weaker facial and vocal masculinity preferences and weaker associations between masculinity preferences across modalities than women not using oral contraceptives. Collectively, these results suggest that men's faces and voices may reveal common information about the masculinity of the sender, and that these multiple quality cues could be used in conjunction by the perceiver in order to determine the overall quality of individuals.
