Article Synopsis
- Social perceptions of speakers are influenced by their vocal characteristics and the semantic content of their speech, with specific focus on vocal pitch and types of semantic cues.
- Antisocial cues consistently led to negative evaluations of speakers, while prosocial cues didn't significantly enhance positive perceptions compared to neutral cues.
- Vocal pitch affects warmth and competence perceptions differently, with high pitch associated with warmth but less competence, and low pitch linked to competence but reduced warmth, highlighting the complexities of how voice influences stereotypes in social contexts.
This 3-year longitudinal study examined the extent to which body weight contingent self-worth (CSW) predicted depressive symptoms in 439 adolescent girls and the roles of unstable self-esteem and interpersonal sexual objectification in this association. Half-longitudinal mediation showed that the indirect effect of body weight CSW on depression via instability of self-esteem was significant. Prior levels of body weight CSW predicted increases in unstable self-esteem, which predicted increments in depressive symptoms over time.
