Physical strength provides information about male quality and can be assessed from facial and body morphology. Research on perception of dance movements indicates that body movement also provides information about male physical strength. These relationships have not been investigated for women.
We investigated relationships of handgrip strength (HGS) and dance attractiveness perception in 75 men and 84 women.
We identified positive relationships between HGS and opposite-sex assessments of dance attractiveness for men but not women.
The replication of previous research investigating relationships between dance attractiveness and physical strength in men corroborates the hypothesis that dance movements provide information about male quality. We argue that these relationships are interpretable in contexts of inter- and intra-sexual selection.
体力提供了有关男性素质的信息，并且可以从面部和身体形态进行评估。对舞蹈动作感知的研究表明，身体动作也提供了有关男性体力的信息。尚未针对女性对这些关系进行研究。
我们调查了75名男性和84名女性的握力（HGS）与舞蹈吸引力感知之间的关系。
我们发现男性的握力与异性对其舞蹈吸引力的评价之间存在正相关关系，而女性则不然。
先前关于男性舞蹈吸引力与体力之间关系的研究得到了重复验证，这证实了舞蹈动作提供有关男性素质信息的假设。我们认为，这些关系可以在同性和异性选择的背景下进行解释。
