The Human Evolution Laboratory at Nipissing University, in collaboration with Principal (lead) Investigators from The Behavioral Endocrinology and Evolution Lab in the Department of Anthropology at Penn State is conducting a brief online study in which participants will be asked to judge men's and women's attractiveness and social status from voice recordings. Participants will listen to pairs of recordings, and based on certain criteria, choose between the two. To participate in this study, make sure that you are in a quiet location and are wearing headphones. At the end of the task, you will be asked to answer some additional questions. The study takes about 15 minutes. You may participate by clicking on the following link or by entering it into your web browser:
