This study examined ratings of physical attractiveness of the self and former and current partners. A total of 304 participants completed measures of attractiveness, relationship satisfaction, love dimensions, self-esteem and sociosexual orientation. Consistent with previous work, results showed that participants rated their current partners as more attractive than themselves and their former partners. However, results also showed that former partners were rated as more attractive than the self on a number of bodily characteristics. Finally, results showed that ratings of former partner physical attractiveness were associated with passion for the former partner, self-esteem, sociosexual orientation, and attributions of relationship termination. These results are discussed in relation to the available literature on positive illusions in intimate relationships.
本研究考察了对自身吸引力以及前任和现任伴侣吸引力的评价。共有 304 名参与者完成了吸引力、关系满意度、爱的维度、自尊和社会性行为取向的测量。与先前的研究一致,结果表明,参与者认为他们的现任伴侣比自己和前任伴侣更有吸引力。然而,结果还表明,在一些身体特征方面,前伴侣被评为比自己更有吸引力。最后,结果表明,对前伴侣身体吸引力的评价与对前伴侣的激情、自尊、社会性行为取向以及对关系结束的归因有关。这些结果与亲密关系中积极错觉的现有文献进行了讨论。
