Cultural sex role stereotypes inform the interpretation of voice-based personality judgments. The study investigates how voice-based personality judgments relate to vocal characteristics, especially regarding speaker sex. The authors recorded voices from 57 college students, had 100 undergraduates rate them on ten personality traits, and measured six vocal characteristics per voice. Personality judgments correlated with vocal characteristics, and raters employed distinct cues for male versus female voices.
Summary This study attempted to determine the relationship between personality judgments from voice and vocal properties of the voice, particularly with reference to the speaker's sex. The taped voices of 57 American college students (25 males and 32 females) were played to 100 raters (also American college undergraduates) who rated the voices on 10 personality traits. Measurements were made of six vocal characteristics for each of the taped voices. There were correlations between personality judgments from the voices and the vocal characteristics of the voices. Raters also used different cues for rating male voices as opposed to female voices. The results were considered in terms of cultural sex role stereotypes.
