Abstract
We tested whether “first impression” judgements of talkers are affected by the age of the individuals being evaluated, the age of the listeners, and the interaction of these two factors. We presented listeners in 3 age groups (20-34, 35- 49, 50-65 years old) with the vowel [a:] produced by 80 male and female talkers aged from 20 to 65. Talkers were rated on 1-9 Likert scales for perceived trustworthiness, attractiveness, and dominance. The results showed significant main effects of both talker age (older talkerssounded less trustworthy and less attractive) and listener age (older listeners found talkers more attractive overall), but there were no significant interactions. Within-age-group agreement and cross-age-group correlations in ratings were high. Overall, our study indicates some talkerage effects but minimal listener-age effects on trait perception across the lifespan
