Abstract To explore the differences of self-evaluation of voice attractiveness under different conditions and the role of depression in college students. Totally 66 students (34 females) were selected to complete the rating task with the subjective rating method which asked the participants to rate the attractiveness of self-voice, familiar-voice and strangers' voice. The differences of self-voice attractiveness evaluation under different conditions were compared, and the depression scale (Beck) was used to measure the depression level. The result shown both male and female participants had higher self-voice ratings. Depression level in women negatively predicted the evaluation bias of self-voice, i.e., as depression score raised, female's evaluation of self-voice attractiveness decreased. Ourfindingssuggested self-positive bias in voice attractiveness evaluation is a stable existence and is closely related to depression,the higher the degree of female depression is, the lower the evaluation of self-voice attractiveness is.
