We investigated auditory (i.e., the ability to recognize sexual orientation) in female speakers, addressing three related issues: whether auditory is (1) accurate, (2) language-dependent (i.e., occurs only in some languages, but not in others), and (3) ingroup-specific (i.e., occurs only when listeners judge speakers of their own language, but not when they judge foreign language speakers). In three experiments, we asked Italian, Portuguese, and German participants (total = 466) to listen to voices of Italian, Portuguese, and German women, and to rate their sexual orientation. Our results showed that auditory was not accurate; listeners were not able to identify speakers' sexual orientation correctly. The same pattern emerged consistently across all three languages and when listeners rated foreign-language speakers.
我们研究了女性说话者的听觉辨别能力（即识别性取向的能力），探讨了三个相关问题：听觉辨别是否（1）准确，（2）依赖语言（即仅在某些语言中出现，而在其他语言中不出现），以及（3）特定于群体内（即仅在听众判断自己语言的说话者时出现，而在判断外语说话者时不出现）。在三项实验中，我们让意大利、葡萄牙和德国的参与者（共466人）聆听意大利、葡萄牙和德国女性的声音，并对她们的性取向进行评分。我们的结果表明，听觉辨别并不准确；听众无法正确识别说话者的性取向。在所有三种语言中以及当听众对外语说话者进行评分时，都一致出现了相同的模式。
