Birds of a Feather Flock Together But Opposites Attract! On the Interaction of F0 Entrainment, Perceived Attractiveness, and Conversational Quality in Dating Conversations

Abstract

This book comprises contributions on vocal aspects of attractiveness, social likability, and charisma. Despite some apparent distinct characteristics of these three concepts, there are not only similarities, but even interdependencies to be considered. This chapter introduces and regards the concepts studied, methods applied, and material selected in the contributions. Based on this structured summary, we argue to increase interdisciplinary and even holistic efforts in order to better under- stand the concepts for voice and speech in humans and machines.
