The authors test the idea that patterns of masculinity-femininity (MF) help sort adolescents into romantic couples. Using a nationally representative sample of adolescents in Grades 7 to 12 from a probability sample of secondary schools in the United States, an MF measure was constructed by selecting a set of questionnaire items demonstrating sex differences. For each respondent, the probability of being a boy was predicted. Respondents identified opposite-sex romantic partners within their school. When the partner identified also was interviewed, the authors were able to create MF for both members of the couple. Trichotomizing MF scores for each sex, it was determined that couples with a very masculine boy and very feminine girl are most likely to have sex, and to have sex the soonest. The couples for which both members are in the average MF range for their sex are the quickest to break up. The pattern of MF is a strong influence on the behavior of adolescent romantic couples.
作者检验了男性气质-女性气质（MF）模式有助于青少年配对成恋爱关系这一观点。使用来自美国中学概率样本中7至12年级青少年的全国代表性样本，通过选择一组显示性别差异的问卷项目构建了MF测量方法。对于每个受访者，预测其为男孩的概率。受访者在学校内识别出异性恋爱伴侣。当所识别的伴侣也接受访谈时，作者能够为情侣双方创建MF。将每种性别的MF分数分为三类后，确定拥有非常男性化男孩和非常女性化女孩的情侣最有可能发生性行为，且最早发生性行为。双方都处于其性别MF平均范围内的情侣分手最快。MF模式对青少年恋爱情侣的行为有很大影响。
