Paul Fraccaro

My research interests relate to trust and human mate choice, and how individual differences (e.g., personality or hormone levels) predict preferences for voice or face characteristics. I am especially interested in if and how we modify cues of social interest in order to be perceived in an advantageous way, and whether the perceiver notices these modifications.

I received my undergraduate degree in Anthropology and Psychology from McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario. I also completed a McMaster Social Sciences USRA in the Voice Research Lab at McMaster.
