The present research investigated the role of sex in the effect of vocal attractiveness on fairness judgment in a two-person Ultimatum Game. Each participant in the game decided whether to accept offers from a proposer who was either associated with an attractive or unattractive voice. The results showed that while participants were more likely to accept fair offers, they would also accept some unfair offers that were associated with an attractive voice. This effect of vocal attractiveness was more clearly shown by female participants, although all male and female participants took longer to make a decision when an attractive voice was associated with an offer, regardless of whether the voice was from the same sex or the opposite sex. Overall, the results inform the role of sex in the effect of vocal attractiveness and further confirm the beauty premium effect on economic bargaining, where people with an attractive voice would benefit.
本研究调查了在两人最后通牒博弈中,性别在嗓音吸引力对公平判断的影响中所起的作用。游戏中的每位参与者都要决定是否接受来自提议者的提议,提议者的声音要么具有吸引力,要么缺乏吸引力。结果显示,虽然参与者更有可能接受公平提议,但他们也会接受一些与有吸引力嗓音相关的不公平提议。女性参与者更明显地表现出这种嗓音吸引力的影响,不过,无论嗓音来自同性还是异性,当有吸引力的嗓音与提议相关联时,所有男性和女性参与者做出决定的时间都会更长。总体而言,研究结果揭示了性别在嗓音吸引力影响中所起的作用,并进一步证实了经济谈判中的美貌溢价效应,即嗓音有吸引力的人会从中受益。
