人类嗓音吸引力的影响因素

The factors affecting attractiveness of human voice

嗓音吸引力在人际交往中发挥着重要的作用。近年来影响人类嗓音吸引力因素的研究可归纳为两个方面:一方面着眼于说话者本身的影响因素,包括说话者体内的雄激素、雌激素等生理激素水平、采用的发音方式、所处的动机状态及其自身的面孔吸引力高低;另一方面考虑的则是来自听者的影响因素,包括听者所具有的生理激素水平、身体健康状况、身体条件特征,及其与说者的关系背景,和所听音频材料的内容等。而言语情绪韵律和听者所处的动机状态对嗓音吸引力评价的影响、以及说者能否自主地操控自身声音物理特性以提高其嗓音吸引力等问题,则可作为该领域今后拓展研究的方向。

Voice attractiveness plays an important role in interpersonal communication. Factors affecting voice attractiveness can be divided into two aspects： related to the speaker or the listener, respectively. Factors related to the speaker include the speaker＇s hormone level （e.g., androgen and estrogen）, manner of articulation, motivational state, and facial attractiveness. Factors derived from the listener include the listener＇s physiological hormone level, physical health and physical characteristics, as well as the relationship of the listener to the speaker, and the content of the audio material. Future research could explore the effects of verbal emotional prosody and the listener＇s motivational state on the voice attractiveness rating, and whether speakers can self-regulate their vocal physical characteristics to improve their vocal attractiveness.
