摘要
People evaluated their own voices as sounding more attractive than others rated their voices(i.e.,self-enhancement effect from the perspective of the rater,termed“SE_rater”),and people also rated their own voices as more attractive than the voices of others(i.e.,self-enhancement effect from the perspective of the voice,termed“SE_voice”).The aim of the present study is to explore whether the gender context(i.e.,same-sex and opposite-sex rating context)could influence the SE effect of voice attractiveness evaluation.Male and female participants were asked to rate the attractiveness of their own voices and other participants’voices,either in a same-sex session or an opposite-sex session.The results demonstrated both the SE_rater and SE_voice effect in the same-sex and oppositesex contexts,for both male and female.More importantly,we found that the SE_rater for the male voices was significantly greater than that for the female voices in the same-sex context whereas no such difference was found in the opposite-sex context.In addition,the SE_voice effect in men was larger in the same-sex context than that in the oppositesex context whereas the SE_voice in women was smaller in the same-sex context than that in the opposite-sex context.These findings indicated that the self-enhancement effect of vocal attractiveness was modulated by the gender context.
