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 ...

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.

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.

Cricothyroid Muscle and Thyroarytenoid Muscle Dominance in Vocal Register Control: Preliminary Results

Journal of Voice, 2014
Headmix and head registers use cricothyroid (CT) muscle dominant voicing, whereas chest and chestmix registers use thyroarytenoid (TA) muscle dominant voicing.Cross-sectional study.CT and TA electromyographic data obtained from five untrained singers and two trained singers were analyzed to determine CT and TA muscle dominance as a function of register.

Dominance asymmetries shape vocal exchanges in meerkats

ABSTRACT Physical grooming is often used to maintain social bonds in animal groups, but opportunities for grooming each group member may be limited. Vocal exchanges have been proposed as an alternative way to sustain social ties without requiring physical proximity.

A Complex Vocalization of the Black-Capped Chickadee. II. Repertoires, Dominance and Dialects

The Condor, 1987
The gargle, a complex call of the Black-capped Chickadee (Parus atricapillus), was studied during the flocking period at two feeders in southeastern Wisconsin. Gargles are usually associated with aggression and are given more frequently by males than females, the gargler almost always winning the encounter.

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

Social Behavior and Personality: an international journal, 1980
This study was designed to assess the relative effects of two types of communicative cues on perceptions of dominance. Stimulus tapes were constructed of two-person conversations in which the amount of vocal participation a speaker contributed and the type of question asked (closed-ended/open-ended) in the interaction were controlled. The results of a
