Title: Listen, follow me: Dynamics vocal features of perceived leadership

Abstract:
The current research examined the relationship between vocal features and leadership perception. Humans are equipped with a psychological system of followership that evolved to the choices of leaders based partly on the physiological features. One such feature is voice pitch (fundamental frequency, F0), which is determined by the physiology of the throat. A growing body of studies found the leaders with lower-voice pitch are preferred by both men and women, and perceived more dominant and stronger. However, prior research found that masculine vocal characteristics such as low pitch produce consistent impression of dominance among listeners, these impressions are largely false. The author criticizes that human voice pitch may be an effective parameter, but not the only influential acoustic features. This is because speech is complex, and may be affected by distinct vocal features. Hence, the vocal parameters in affecting leadership perception are still equivocal. In this research, an abundant of vocal features, namely fundamental frequency, formants, intensity, voice quality, speech rate are extracted by Praat and tested. The hypotheses are that leaders with similar leadership scores on the German version MLQ-5X instrument would share similar speech characteristics.
