In this article, 7 evolutionary hypotheses about the context-specific nature of mate attraction effectiveness were empirically tested and supported. In the context of short-term mating, for example, men have faced the adaptive problem of finding sexually accessible women. As a result, men express a preference for sexually availability in short-term mates. In Studies 1 and 2, separate groups of undergraduate participants judged sexual availability tactics as most effective when used by women seeking short-term mates, confirming the hypothesized link between the judged effectiveness of mate attraction tactics used by one sex and the expressed mate preferences of the other. Showing resource potential was judged most effective for men seeking a long-term mate, whereas giving resources immediately was judged most effective for men seeking short-term mates, confirming the hypothesized importance of temporal context in mate attraction effectiveness. Discussion focuses on the context-specificity of human mating psychology and on linking evolutionary and traditional approaches to romantic attraction.
在本文中，关于配偶吸引有效性的情境特异性本质的7种进化假说得到了实证检验和支持。例如，在短期择偶的情境中，男性面临着寻找性开放女性的适应性问题。因此，男性表现出对短期配偶性开放的偏好。在研究1和研究2中，不同组的本科参与者认为，当寻求短期配偶的女性使用性开放策略时最为有效，这证实了一种性别所使用的配偶吸引策略的判断有效性与另一种性别的表达出的配偶偏好之间的假设联系。展示资源潜力被认为对寻求长期配偶的男性最为有效，而立即给予资源被认为对寻求短期配偶的男性最为有效，这证实了时间背景在配偶吸引有效性中的假设重要性。讨论集中在人类交配心理的情境特异性，以及将进化方法与传统浪漫吸引方法联系起来。
