Abstract

Various psychological predictors of mate preference have been identified in prior research that when accounted for simultaneously could reveal the unique contributions of each. This study aimed to explore the extent to which perceived attractiveness, personality characteristics, and attachment styles are associated with young Iranian adults' mate preferences, attending to group differences based on biological sex. A total of 644 Iranian young adults completed a questionnaire that included items related to one's perceived intelligence and physical attractiveness, HEXACO personality traits, and KASER mate preferences (kindness/dependability, attractiveness/sexuality, status/resources, education/intelligence, and religiosity/chastity). Several differences based on biological sex were apparent in the personality, attachment, and mate preferences measures, as well as with their intercorrelations. Analyses using multiple linear regression indicated that each of the KASER variables had some unique combinations of the three types of psychological characteristics, and some variance by biological sex. For example, kindness/dependability was predicted for males by the two perceived attractiveness variables and by two personality variables (emotionality and conscientiousness), but only by the agreeableness personality trait for females. Attachment styles were only relevant for education/intelligence and religiosity/chastity, with little evidence of sex‐based differences.

伊朗男性和女性成年初显期配偶偏好的相关心理预测因素

先前的研究已经确定了伴侣偏好的各种心理预测因素，当同时考虑时，可以揭示每种因素的独特贡献。这项研究旨在探讨伊朗年轻成年人的吸引力、性格特征和依恋风格在多大程度上与他们的伴侣偏好有关，并考虑到基于生物性别的群体差异。共有644名伊朗年轻人完成了一份问卷调查，其中包括与一个人的智力和身体吸引力、HEXACO性格特征和KASER伴侣偏好（善良/可靠、吸引力/性取向、地位/资源、教育/智力和宗教/贞洁）有关的项目。基于生理性别的一些差异在人格、依恋和配偶偏好测量以及它们之间的相互关系方面是明显的。使用多元线性回归的分析表明，每个KASER变量都有三种类型的心理特征的一些独特组合，以及一些生物性别的差异。例如，男性的善良/可靠性是通过两个感知吸引力变量和两个人格变量（情绪性和尽责性）来预测的，但女性的宜人性人格特征除外。依恋风格仅与教育/智力和宗教/贞操相关，几乎没有证据表明存在基于性别的差异。
