Abstract：
Whereas voice pitch is strongly linked to people\'s perceptions in contexts of sexual selection, such as attractiveness and dominance, evidence that links voice pitch to actual behaviour or the formidability of a speaker is sparse and mixed. In this registered report, we investigated how male speakers\' voice pitch is linked to fighting success in a dataset comprising 135 (amateur) mixed martial arts and 189 (amateur) boxing fights. Based on the assumption that voice pitch is an honest signal of formidability, we expected lower voice pitch to be linked to higher fighting success. The results indicated no significant relation between a fighter\'s voice pitch, as directly measured before a fight, and successive fighting success in both mixed martial arts fighters and boxers.
摘要：
而在性选择的背景下，语音音调与人们的感知密切相关，比如吸引力和支配地位，将语音音调与实际行为或说话者的强大能力联系起来的证据是稀疏且混合的。在这份注册报告中，我们调查了男性说话者的声音如何与战斗成功有关，在一个数据集中，包括135（业余）混合武术和189（业余）拳击比赛。基于语音音调是一个诚实的强大信号的假设，我们期望较低的语音音调与较高的战斗成功有关。结果表明，战斗机的音高之间没有显着关系，在战斗前直接测量，以及混合武术战士和拳击手的连续战斗成功。
