Abstract

The ethological model called the Frequency Code developed by Ohala (1983, 1984) postulates a correlation between pitch and the expression of power: low-pitched voices communicate a meaning of dominance while high-pitched voices transmit a meaning of submission. Based on this awareness, the present research aims to investigate the relationship between the pitch variation of female voice and some specific personality markers, in particular we tested the perception of dominance.
