Washington, Oct 6: Men and women change their voices when they speak to lovers versus friends and such variations could be used to detect infidelity, a new study has claimed.
New research by Albright College associate professor of psychology Susan Hughes, Ph.D., said that it's not just that we change the sound of our voice, but that others can easily perceive those changes.
The study is co-authored by Jack Lafayette, director of institutional research at Albright, and Sally D. Farley, former assistant professor of psychology at Albright, who now teaches at the University of Baltimore.
The study looked at how individuals alter their voices, or engage in voice modulation, when speaking to romantic partners versus same-sex.

Washington, Jan 22: Scientists have tried to explain how perceptions of a person's sexual orientation are influenced by their facial symmetry and proportions.
According to researchers at Albright College in Reading, Pa, self-identified heterosexuals had facial features that were slightly more symmetrical than homosexuals. And the more likely raters perceived someone as heterosexual, the more symmetrical that person's features were.
"The ability to assess the sexual orientation of others may be an adaptive trait," Newswise quoted Susan Hughes, lead suthor of the study as saying.
"In terms of mate selection and romance, it's crucial to recognize others' sexual orientation," she said.
