Love and sex are fundamental needs of most people, yet little research has examined such aspects of life in relation to personality pathologies. We examined the associations between pathological personality traits (i.e., negative affectivity, disinhibition, antagonism, psychoticism, and detachment) and sociosexuality (i.e., short-term mating orientation, long-term mating orientation, and sexual behavior) among 702 university students. In addition, we examined the mediating role of life history speed and tested whether sex moderated the associations that these pathological personality traits had with sociosexuality. Detachment, antagonism, disinhibition, and psychoticism had positive associations with short-term mating interests and negative associations with long-term mating interests. Life history speed mediated the associations that detachment and disinhibition had with short-term mating orientation and long-term mating orientation. Although sex did moderate the association that negative affectivity had with previous sexual behavior, we found no evidence that these mediational processes differed between men and women. Results are discussed in terms of the way personality traits shape the sociosexuality of men and women using a life history paradigm.
爱和性是大多数人的基本需求,但很少有研究探讨人格病理学与这些方面的关系。我们调查了 702 名大学生中病态人格特征(即负性情感、抑制解除、敌对、精神质和超脱)与社交性(即短期交配倾向、长期交配倾向和性行为)之间的关系。此外,我们还检验了生活史速度的中介作用,并检验了性别是否调节了这些病态人格特征与社交性之间的关联。超脱、敌对、抑制解除和精神质与短期交配兴趣呈正相关,与长期交配兴趣呈负相关。生活史速度中介了超脱和抑制解除与短期交配倾向和长期交配倾向的关联。尽管性别确实调节了负性情感与以往性行为之间的关联,但我们没有发现证据表明这些中介过程在男性和女性之间存在差异。研究结果从使用生活史范式的角度讨论了人格特征如何塑造男性和女性的社交性。
