摘要

人类择偶研究几乎全部发生在大规模的城市工业人口中。目前还不清楚从这些人群中吸取的经验教训在多大程度上反映了人类交配心理的普遍特征,而不是对这些历史上不同寻常的环境需求的局部反应。在这里,我们使用夫妻模拟这种基于代理的建模技术,比较了美国样本(n = 1678)和厄瓜多尔科南博样本(k = 15 对夫妻)的择偶模型,科南博样本是厄瓜多尔亚马逊地区相对偏远的园艺狩猎者社区。科南博样本为评估择偶模型提供了一个独特的机会,因为:(1)该样本代表了该社区约 50% 的家庭;(2)该样本中的所有参与者都彼此熟悉。科南博的参与者完成了一项排名任务,每位参与者都对社区中的每位异性成年人进行了配偶质量排名。我们利用这些排名来模拟科南博交配市场的择偶模式。我们发现,这些模型能够高度准确地再现科南博的婚姻,并且在科南博样本和美国样本中的表现相当。具体而言,资源分配模型在再现美国和科南博样本中的择偶情况方面表现最佳。这些结果表明,人类交配心理的某些方面至少在大规模工业化人群和小规模人群中都具有普遍性。

Modeling mate choice in a small-scale community: Applying couple simulation in the U.S. and Conambo, Ecuador

The near totality of human mate choice research occurs in large-scale, urban, industrial populations. It is unclear to what extent lessons learned from such populations reflect generalizable features of human mating psychology as opposed to localized responses to the demands of these historically unusual environments. Here, we use couple simulation, an agent-based modeling technique, to compare models of mate choice across both a U.S. sample (n = 1678) and a sample of k = 15 couples from Conambo, Ecuador—a relatively remote community of horticultural-foragers in the Ecuadorian Amazon. The Conambo sample provides a unique opportunity to evaluate models of mate choice in that (1) this sample represents approximately 50% of the households within this community and (2) all of the participants in this sample are acquainted with one another. Participants in Conambo completed a ranking task in which each participant ranked each opposite-sex adult in the community in terms of their quality as a spouse. We used these rankings to simulate the mating market in Conambo under alternative models of mate choice. We find that these models are able to reproduce Conambo marriages at a high degree of accuracy and perform comparably across both the Conambo sample and U.S. samples. Specifically, the resource allocation model performs best in reproducing mate choices in both the U.S. and Conambo samples. These results suggest that at least some aspects of human mating psychology generalize across both large-scale industrialized and small-scale populations.

期刊介绍: Evolution and Human Behavior is an interdisciplinary journal, presenting research reports and theory in which evolutionary perspectives are brought to bear on the study of human behavior. It is primarily a scientific journal, but submissions from scholars in the humanities are also encouraged. Papers reporting on theoretical and empirical work on other species will be welcome if their relevance to the human animal is apparent.
