Voice

The pitch, tone, and frequency of speech significantly influence how individuals' emotions and intentions are perceived across different languages and cultures. German and Hungarian speakers, for instance, tend to sound angrier due to their low-frequency pitch, while Danish speakers might come across as emotionless because of their mid-range pitch, resulting in a monotone sound.

Voice

Correlational Feature 1: German and Hungarian individuals are angry due to their low frequency pitch

Correlational Feature 2: Danish individuals have no feelings since their pitch is middle ground which makes them sound monotone

Correlational Feature 3: Males have an authoritative voice due to their lower voice frequencies.

Misconception via undergeneralization: All Asian cultures are high frequency voice tones.

Misconception via overgeneralization: All females have a higher pitch frequency in their voices.

Non-Examples: Female U.S. and Female U.K.

Prototypes: Hungarian/Chinese and Finnish/Danish

Voices in different languages

Narrowed Down: The pitch, tone, and frequency of speaking in different languages are interpreted very differently to someone who does not speak that language.

Defining Features: Finding the exact frequency of an individual speaking and determining their mood and intention solely from the frequency pitch.
Example 3: Female U.S. speakers have a 10hz higher score than European females causing U.S. females to sound happier.
Example 2: Finnish speakers have a very low frequency whereas Danish speakers are more middle ground.
Example 1: Hungarian pitch is low and Chinese pitch is high, difference measuring about half an octave difference on a piano, the Hungarian person sounds angry and the Chinese person.
