This study experimentally
tested whether individuals have a tendency to associate attractive voices with
attractive faces and, alternately, unattractive voices with unattractive faces.
Participants viewed pairings of facial photographs of attractive and unattractive
individuals and had listened to attractive and unattractive voice samples and
were asked to indicate which facial picture they thought was more likely to be
the speaker of the voice heard.
Results showed that there was an overall
tendency to associate attractive voices with attractive faces and unattractive
voices with unattractive faces, suggesting that a
“what-sounds-beautiful-looks-beautiful” stereotype exists.
Interestingly, there
was an even stronger propensity to pair unattractive voices to unattractive
faces than for the attractive voice–face matching.
