Vocal masculinity is a robust dominance signal in men

Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2010
Dominance assessment is important in mating competition across a variety of species, but little is known about how individuals’ own quality affects their assessment of potential rivals. We conducted two studies to test whether men’s own dominance affects their attentiveness to a putative dominance signal, vocal masculinity, when assessing competitors ...

Nonverbal Vocal Adaptation and Audience Perceptions of Dominance and Prestige

Social Psychology Quarterly, 2017
Fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis of speech is a useful tool for measuring the social organization of micro interactions. Past research suggests that “adaptation” in the lower nonverbal vocal frequencies may be associated with bystander perceptions of dominance and prestige, but these factors have not been compared in a single study.

Men's voices as dominance signals: vocal fundamental and formant frequencies influence dominance attributions among men

Evolution and Human Behavior, 2007
Men's vocal folds and vocal tracts are longer than those of women, resulting in lower fundamental frequency (F0) and closer spacing of formant frequencies (formant dispersion, Df) in men than in women. The evolutionary reasons for these sex differences are uncertain, but some evidence implicates male dominance competition.

THE EFFECTS OF VOCAL PARTICIPATION AND QUESTIONING BEHAVIOR ON PERCEPTIONS OF DOMINANCE
