We tested the hypothesis that magnitudes of sex differences in human mate preferences would be inversely related to control of resources. Specifically, we predicted that the ideal partner age, maximum and minimum partner ages tolerated and preferences for "physical attractiveness" over "good financial prospects" of female participants would approach parity with that of men with increasing control of resources. In a sample of 3770 participants recruited via an online survey, the magnitudes of sex differences in age preferences increased with resource control whereas the sex difference in preferences for "physical attractiveness" over "good financial prospects" disappeared when resource control was high. Results are inconsistent, and are discussed in the context of adaptive tradeoff and biosocial models of sex differences in human mate preferences.
人类配偶偏好中的性别差异程度与资源控制呈负相关。具体而言,我们预测,随着资源控制能力的增强,女性参与者在理想伴侣年龄、可接受的伴侣年龄上限和下限以及对“身体吸引力”而非“良好经济前景”的偏好方面,将与男性趋于平等。在通过在线调查招募的3770名参与者样本中,年龄偏好方面的性别差异程度随着资源控制能力的增强而增大,而当资源控制能力较高时,对“身体吸引力”而非“良好经济前景”的偏好方面的性别差异则消失了。研究结果并不一致,并在人类配偶偏好性别差异的适应性权衡和生物社会模型的背景下进行了讨论。
