摘要
Men generally prefer feminine women%26apos;s faces and voices over masculine women%26apos;s faces and voices, and these cross-modal preferences are positively correlated. Men%26apos;s preferences for female facial and vocal femininity have typically been investigated independently by presenting soundless still images separately from audio-only vocal recordings. For the first time ever, we presented men with short video clips in which dynamic faces and voices were simultaneously manipulated in femininity/masculinity. Men preferred feminine men%26apos;s faces over masculine men%26apos;s faces, and preferred masculine men%26apos;s voices over feminine men%26apos;s voices. We found that men preferred feminine women%26apos;s faces and voices over masculine women%26apos;s faces and voices. Men%26apos;s attractiveness ratings of both feminine and masculine faces were increased by the addition of vocal femininity. Also, men%26apos;s attractiveness ratings of feminine and masculine voices were increased by the addition of facial femininity present in the video. Men%26apos;s preferences for vocal and facial femininity were significantly and positively correlated when stimuli were female, but not when they were male. Our findings complement other evidence for cross-modal femininity preferences among male raters, and show that preferences observed in studies using still images and/or independently presented vocal stimuli are also observed when dynamic faces and voices are displayed simultaneously in video format.
