Originally Published 1 year ago — by Phys.org

A cross-cultural study found that lower voice pitch makes individuals sound more attractive for long-term relationships and confers a sense of formidability and prestige, particularly among men. The study, published in Psychological Science, suggests that voice pitch influences social perceptions and status evaluation, with lower pitches being preferred for long-term relationships and higher pitches being perceived as more flirtatious. The findings also indicate that perceptions of voice pitch vary across societies based on factors such as relational mobility and homicide rates, shedding light on the evolutionary significance of voice pitch in human social interactions.
