A number of studies have described different preference patterns typically found for men and women when choosing romantic mates. These vary according to the involvement level expected in the relationship. Despite the number of investigations on the topic, one must be careful not to generalize because most studies use samples composed of North American university undergraduates. This study sought to determine if the preference patterns typically found in other countries also occur among Brazilian undergraduates. The importance of characteristics and modifications in preference patterns under gradually restrictive conditions was also investigated. In general, the results obtained suggest that the preferences found in a number of countries also occur in Brazil. In short-term relationships, men prioritize physical attributes, whereas personal traits gain importance when involvement increases. Women in short-term relationships value physical and personal traits, whereas in the long term, they emphasize personal characteristics and their mate's desire to acquire resources. Resource-related traits were less important than the other traits, and were more important for women than for men.
许多研究描述了男性和女性在选择浪漫伴侣时通常存在的不同偏好模式。这些偏好模式根据关系中预期的参与程度而有所不同。尽管针对这一主题进行了大量研究，但必须注意不要一概而论，因为大多数研究使用的样本都是由北美大学生组成的。本研究旨在确定在其他国家通常发现的偏好模式是否也存在于巴西大学生中。还研究了在逐渐限制的条件下偏好模式的特征和变化的重要性。总的来说，研究结果表明，在许多国家发现的偏好模式也存在于巴西。在短期关系中，男性更注重身体特征，而当参与度增加时，个人特征变得更加重要。在短期关系中，女性重视身体和个人特征，而在长期关系中，她们则强调个人特征和伴侣获取资源的愿望。与资源相关的特征比其他特征重要性低，对女性比男性更重要。
