Low-profile mascust men are more likely to be unfaithful and invest less in relationships!

October 24, 2020 // -- The human voice is produced in the throat and transmitted by the vocal bands in the throat, and the base frequency (F0, basic frequency, fundamental frequency) of the sound is generated by the vibration of the throat vocal belt, and the sound The resonance frequency of the channel produces resonant peaks, and the filtering model of the sound source speculates that F0 and resonant peaks are anatomically and functionally independent of each other, and that they are two important acoustic parameters that have traditionally been studied as potential indicators of gender differences between the sexes, and that they are important information providers for social impressions.
There is plenty of research evidence that sound pitch is negatively correlated with testosterone levels in men, and studies have found little or no correlation between the body's vocal characteristics and testosterone levels, however, this conclusion may be influenced by other variables, and in general, differences in pitch and resonance peak frequency between the sexes may be based on differences in testosterone levels in the body.

And in-sex competition suggests that the gender differences in human voices evolved through male-dominated competition, and that men were able to demonstrate their dominance through greater leadership and persuasion, so that men with higher dominance tended to have more access to resources and access to the opposite sex/spouse, so female mate choices and male competitive advantages may affect differences in gender voices."
In a spousal relationship, the judge of the speaker's infidelity intentions and relationship investments depends on the tone of the speaker's voice, however, so far no study has been conducted to investigate whether a person's tone of voice can help predict their infidelity intentions and their relationship commitments; In a joint study entitled "Vocal characteristics predictive infidelity intention and relationship commitment in men but not in women", scientists from Sichuan University and Southwest University in China found that sound characteristics may help effectively predict men's unfaithful intentions and relationship commitments to their partners, but this may not be appropriate for women. In the
study, the researchers analyzed three sound parameters of the participants, namely the basic frequency of sound (F0), the standard deviation within F0's discourse (F0-sd), and the position of the resonance peak (Pf), and based on the participants' self-reported questionnaires, they explored the association between sound parameters and an individual's infidelity and relationship commitment.
results showed that among male participants, F0 and F0-sd had a significant negative correlation with their body's will to be loyal, with a significant positive correlation with their relationship commitment, while male participants had no significant correlation between Pf and their loyalty or commitment.
And in female participants, sound parameters may not help predict their infidelity intentions and relationship commitments, so the study in this paper shows that using male (not female) voice characteristics or predicting their infidelity and commitment to relationships is important for in-depth understanding of the key role voice plays in the maintenance of a spouse's relationship.
correlation between male infidelity and F0 (Hz; a), F0-sd (Hz; b) Source: Jing Zhang, et al. Personality and Individual Differences Volume 168, 1 January 2021, 110389, Doi:10.1016/j.paid.2020.110389 Researchers point out that male voices are usually characterized by lower F0 and resonant peaks, both of which influence men's judgment in different areas, for example, men with lower tones and longer channels are often considered more attractive and dominant/dominant Force, sound also affects people's perception of overall credibility, people often think that men with lower voices are more worthy, while other studies have found that men with higher voices are more worthwhile, and for such inconsistent studies, researchers say that whether individual voices are considered more dependent, may be influenced by different areas, and may have been somewhat validated in the results of spousal relationship studies, such as, Men with low voices and high-profile women tend to be considered more likely to engage in sexual infidelity, and the researchers found that disloyal men tended to show lower levels of relationship satisfaction, as well as lower levels of intimacy and less commitment to their partners, and that women were also less likely to think that men with low voices were less likely to devote time and energy to their partners and, of course, less financially generous.
Because there is a link between the body's hormone levels and behavior, the tone may influence perceptions of trust and investment, higher testosterone levels are positive with the higher an individual's interest in extramarital affairs, and men with higher testosterone levels tend to have more extramarital partners, and women with higher estrogen levels are more likely to have infidelity, and there are more extramarital partners, testosterone levels and The quality of relationships is negatively correlated, with higher testosterone levels disrupting the maintenance of romantic relationships by reducing behavior that promotes relationships between couples, and men with lower testosterone levels tend to have higher marital satisfaction and lower divorce rates than men with higher testosterone levels, while a recent study found a negative correlation between the sexes and their satisfaction and loyalty to marriage.
Researchers say that in this study, based on an assessment of participants' two sound parameters, F0 and F0-sd, we found that masculine men were more likely to occur than feminine men. Infidelity, and less investment in romantic relationships, however, this situation does not seem to exist among female participants, of course, this study may have some limitations, first of all, participants are a narrow range of college students, their relationships are relatively short, of course, the motivation to have sex and the relationship between marriage and love has changed a lot since adults, late researchers also need to repeat this study of different subjects.
Second, the researchers based their study mainly on Western culture, since very few studies are currently based on Chinese participants analyzing the sound characteristics of their bodies, although in this study the researchers calculated the three parameters of the participants' voices by calculating the average of each of the five standardized neutral words: F0, F0-sd, and Pf, but these three parameters were also influenced by the tone in Mandarin. In future studies, researchers will record other forms of sound material, such as vowels used in previous studies; third, although the conclusions of this study are indirectly inferred by suggesting that the body's hormone levels play an associated role, the researchers did not actually measure the participants' testosterone levels, which may be a larger limitation of the study, and in future studies they will take measurements of the participants' testosterone levels to come to a more accurate conclusion.
Finally, the researchers said, we assessed participants' willingness to be unfaithful, not actual, as a limitation of this paper, and we will continue to conduct more in-depth studies to analyze and measure male infidelity in partnership or marriage.
