Participants listened to a text read by a female (Study 1; N = 171) or male (Study 2, N = 151) speaker, whose voice pitch was manipulated to be high or low. They rated the speaker on positive and negative facets of masculinity and femininity, competence, and likability. They also indicated their own gendered self-concept. High pitch was associated with the ascription of more feminine traits and greater likability. The high-pitch female speaker was rated as less competent, and the high-pitch male speaker was perceived as less masculine. Text content and participants' gendered self-concept did not moderate the pitch effect. The findings underline the importance of voice pitch for impression formation.}, language = {en} } @article{Schierl2020, author = {Schierl, Petra}, title = {Der Heldenk{\"o}rper in Szene gesetzt}, series = {thersites 11: tessellae - Birthday Issue for Christine Walde}, volume = {2020}, journal = {thersites 11: tessellae - Birthday Issue for Christine Walde}, number = {11}, editor = {Amb{\"u}hl, Annemarie}, issn = {2364-7612}, doi = {10.34679/thersites.vol11.182}, pages = {31 -- 68}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Taking its cue from the portrayal of Hercules as muscleman in both films and ancient sculpture this article turns to poetry as a verbal art and examines when and how the hero's body comes into focus in Roman epic and elegy. It is argued that moments of crisis contrasting Hercules' state in a given situation to his former heroic achievements give rise to representations of his body, while epic fight scenes rather draw attention to the bodies of his inferior opponents. The body is described through references to different body parts, qualified by attributes as masculine in elegiac contexts. A somewhat exotic word as tori suffices to highlight the hero's muscular body.}, language = {de} }
