Vocal indicators of dominance

chapter
posted on 2023-06-09, 12:29 authored by Christopher D. Watkins, Katarzyna Pisanski
A variety of trait dimensions such as dominance are gauged from ‘thin-slice’ judgements of other individuals based on their physical characteristics. Inspired largely by theoretical models of same-sex competition (i.e., intrasexual selection) in nonhuman species, where the capacity to quickly assess another individual’s dominance has obvious benefits for reproductive fitness (Puts, 2010), research over many decades has explored the extent to which various acoustic properties within the voice denote dominance (see also Todorov et al., 2008 for discussion pertaining to facial dominance).
