Four studies investigated the importance of objective and subjective attributes to mate selection. This research tested whether perceivers' objective physical attractiveness influenced how they evaluated the physical attractiveness of others and, if considered, may provide a parsimonious account for matching in mate selection. Study 1 (N = 102) demonstrated that ratings of targets' attractiveness decreased as perceivers' objective physical attractiveness increased. Studies 2 (N = 89) and 3 (N = 68) revealed that as perceivers' objective physical attractiveness increased, reductions in expected satisfaction and rejection were mediated by perceivers' reduced assessments of targets' attractiveness. Study 4 (N = 114) produced patterns of matching by finding that attractive perceivers expected to date more attractive targets while unattractive perceivers expected to date less attractive targets. This research emphasizes the importance of objective physical attractiveness to target evaluations and describes how matching results from the combined influence of objective and subjective attributes.
四项研究调查了客观和主观属性对配偶选择的重要性。这项研究测试了感知者的客观身体吸引力是否会影响他们对他人身体吸引力的评价，如果是这样，可能会为配偶选择中的匹配现象提供一个简洁的解释。研究1（N = 102）表明，随着感知者客观身体吸引力的增加，对目标吸引力的评分会降低。研究2（N = 89）和研究3（N = 68）表明，随着感知者客观身体吸引力的增加，预期满意度和被拒绝程度的降低是由感知者对目标吸引力的评估降低所介导的。研究4（N = 114）通过发现有吸引力的感知者期望与更有吸引力的目标约会，而缺乏吸引力的感知者期望与吸引力较低的目标约会，得出了匹配模式。这项研究强调了客观身体吸引力对目标评价的重要性，并描述了匹配是如何由客观和主观属性的综合影响产生的。
