Abstract

The intimate relationships of the older population have seldom been analyzed from a sociological perspective. This study provides novel information on what is desired in a partner after the age of 50 in Spain. The academic debate on this topic has been limited. Therefore, the contribution of this article is mainly an exploration of the empirical data. The database used is the Spanish General Social Survey prepared by the Sociological Research Center. The results indicate that personality is the most valued factor, followed by values and physical appearance. The variables with the greatest explanatory power in the estimated multinomial logit model are age, sex, level of education and cohabitation status. Educational homogamy appears among those with higher levels of education, with men more interested in physical appearance and women more interested in values and education. These last two characteristics are also more highly valued among those who are older.

人们在50岁以后寻找潜在伴侣的标准是什么?

很少有人从社会学的角度来分析老年人口的亲密关系。这项研究为西班牙人在50岁以后对伴侣的期望提供了新的信息。关于这个话题的学术辩论一直很有限。因此，本文的贡献主要是对实证数据的探索。使用的数据库是社会学研究中心编制的西班牙综合社会调查。结果表明，性格是最重要的因素，其次是价值观和外表。在估计的多项逻辑模型中，最具解释力的变量是年龄、性别、教育水平和同居状况。受教育程度较高的人更倾向于同性婚姻，男性对外表更感兴趣，而女性对价值观和教育更感兴趣。年龄较大的人也更看重后两个特点。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
