This series of studies is the first to use conjoint analysis to examine how individuals make trade-offs during mate selection when provided information about a partner's history of sexual infidelity. Across three studies, participants ranked profiles of potential mates, with each profile varying across five attributes: financial stability, physical attractiveness, sexual fidelity, emotional investment, and similarity. They also rated each attribute separately for importance in an ideal mate. Overall, we found that for a long-term mate, participants prioritized a potential partner's history of sexual fidelity over other attributes when profiles were ranked conjointly. For a short-term mate, sexual fidelity, physical attractiveness, and financial stability were equally important, and each was more important than emotional investment and similarity. These patterns contrast with participants' self-reported importance ratings of each individual attribute. Our results are interpreted within the context of previous literature examining how making trade-offs affect mate selection.
这一系列研究首次运用联合分析来考察当个体获得有关伴侣性不忠历史的信息时，他们在择偶过程中是如何进行权衡的。在三项研究中，参与者对潜在伴侣的简介进行排序，每个简介在五个属性上有所不同：经济稳定性、外貌吸引力、性忠诚、情感投入和相似性。他们还分别对每个属性在理想伴侣中的重要性进行了评分。总体而言，我们发现，对于长期伴侣，当联合对简介进行排序时，参与者将潜在伴侣的性忠诚历史置于其他属性之上。对于短期伴侣，性忠诚、外貌吸引力和经济稳定性同样重要，且每一项都比情感投入和相似性更重要。这些模式与参与者对每个单独属性的自我报告重要性评分形成对比。我们的研究结果是在先前关于权衡如何影响择偶的文献背景下进行解读的。
