Previous western studies revealed a two-dimensional model (valence and dominance) in voice impressions. To explore the cross-cultural validity of this model, the present study recruited Chinese participants to evaluate other people's personality from recordings of Chinese vocal greeting word "Ni Hao". Principal Component Analysis (PCA) with Varimax Rotation and Parallel Analysis was used to investigate the dimensions underlying personality judgments. The results also revealed a two-dimensional model: approachability and capability. The approachability dimension was similar to the valence dimension reported in a previous study. It indicated that the approachability/valence dimension has cross-cultural commonality. Unlike the dimension of dominance which was closely related to aggressiveness, the dimension of capability emphasized the social aspects of capability such as intellectuality, social skills, and tenacity. In addition, the acoustic parameters that were used to infer the personality of speakers, as well as the relationship between vocal attractiveness and the personality dimensions of voice, were also partially different from the findings in Western culture.
先前的西方研究揭示了一种二维模型（情感和支配）来描述声音印象。为了探索该模型的跨文化有效性，本研究招募了中国参与者，让他们根据中文问候词“你好”的录音来评价他人的个性。采用主成分分析（PCA）和方差极大旋转及平行分析来探究个性判断背后的维度。结果也揭示了一个二维模型：亲和力和能力。亲和力维度与之前一项研究报告的情感维度相似。这表明亲和力/情感维度具有跨文化的共性。与与支配维度密切相关的攻击性不同，能力维度强调能力的社会方面，如智力、社交技能和坚韧。此外，用于推断说话者个性的声学参数，以及声音吸引力与个性维度之间的关系，也与西方文化的发现部分不同。
