“…This research’s managerial implications involve the target markets’ environments. For audio components, this research supports the view that the singers’ abilities to express emotions well and that singers’ voices are nice to hear are critical (Berry et al, 1994; Feld & Fox, 1994). As for visual components, this research shows that exceptional performance skills demonstrating their ability to dominate the stage and screen is essential (Palmer, 1997).…”

“…Music videos communicate consumption imagery, providing visual backdrops and promoting certain styles to improve interactions, and enhance evaluations of identities and emotions (Belin, Bestelmeyer, Latinus, & Watson, 2011; Belin, Fecteau, & Bédard, 2004; Englis et al, 1994). Artists’ physical attractiveness, including outward appearances and fashion styles (Belin et al, 2004; Berry, Hansen, Landry-Pester, & Meier, 1994) exude powerful first impressions that enable audiences to observe stylistic differences (Berry et al, 1994; Englis et al, 1994), creating attitudes, responses, and attachments (Saboo et al, 2016). Performances demonstrating stage and screen dominance also improve audience communication and interpretation (Englis et al, 1994; Palmer, 1997).…”

“…The research questionnaire was developed using a seven-point Likert-type scale, ranging from Completely Disagree to Completely Agree . Measuring audio components was based on the definitions on what comprises music (Bruner, 1990; Matthias, 2006; Scott, 1990) while visual components are defined based on how music videos are constructed (Belin et al, 2004; Berry et al, 1994; Englis et al, 1994), and these are worded in the context of how KPop is produced (Y.-J. Choi, 2011; Oh & Park, 2012; Park, 2013).…”

This research employs a mix of theoretical and data-driven approaches to understand how Korean pop music (KPop) consumption, despite physical and social barriers, is currently at unprecedented levels. The stimulus-organism-response (S-O-R) model was used as a basis to examine factors regarding influencing KPop’s popularity on non-Koreans, focusing on production and consumer-based factors inducing their attitudes and preferences. Data gathered from 951 Taiwanese and 949 Philippine survey respondents were analyzed through structural equation modeling (SEM), in which 13 of the hypothesized 16 direct, mediating, and moderating relationships were supported. This research demonstrates how, through appropriate theoretical lenses supported by empirically tested data, production-based factors of visual and audio components can sway favorable attitudes and preferences under customer-based contextual factors, including peer pressure, self-efficacy, and media. This guides producers to appreciate cultural nuances affecting KPop’s global popularity, and the importance of deciding the product mix strategies best suited for different markets.

“…In summary, we demonstrated that men prefer femininity of pitch over averageness of pitch in women's voices. Men may prefer women with high-pitched women's voices because high voice pitch in women is associated with pro-social stereotypes (Berry et al 1994;Zuckerman and Driver 1989), and hormonal markers of fertility (Abitbol et al 1999;Feinberg et al 2005a;Van Borsel et al 2000).…”

The Role of Femininity and Averageness of Voice Pitch in Aesthetic Judgments of Women's Voices

Although averageness is preferred in auditory stimuli (eg music) and non-face objects (eg wristwatches), exaggerated feminine characteristics are preferred to averageness in female faces. To establish whether or not men prefer femininity in female voices to average characteristics, we conducted a correlational study (study 1) to assess the relationship between voice pitch and attractiveness ratings. We found a positive linear relationship between voice pitch and attractiveness ratings. In study 2 we manipulated pitch in women's voices with low (lower than average), average, and high (higher than average) starting pitches and gauged men's preferences. Men preferred women's voices with raised pitch for all levels of starting pitch. These findings suggest that men prefer high voice pitch to average voice pitch in women's voices.
