摘要

妇女的生育能力在一生中各不相同,家庭组建等发展目标是根据完成特定发展任务的适当年龄的社会规范进行年龄分级和塑造的。因此,女性的年龄可能与她对理想伴侣的想法有关。为了复制和扩展先前的研究,在这项研究中,我们考察了年龄在全球女性伴侣偏好中的作用。我们对来自147个国家的17254名18岁至67岁的单身(即无伴侣)异性恋女性的跨文化样本进行了年龄与理想长期伴侣偏好的相关性调查。数据是通过在线问卷收集的,即理想伴侣调查。证实了我们预先登记的假设,我们发现年龄对善良、支持、吸引力、经济安全成功或教育智力的偏好没有影响,或者只有微不足道的影响。然而,年龄与自信和自信的偏好呈正相关。与组建家庭的目标一致,年龄与理想伴侣的育儿意愿有关(直到30岁左右,年龄一直很高,然后逐渐降低)。被认为可以接受的年龄范围(尤其是自己的年龄和伴侣的最低理想年龄之间的差异)随着年龄的增长而增加。后一种模式在基于女同性恋和双性恋女性子样本的探索性分析中也得到了复制。总之,年龄对伴侣偏好的影响有限。在调查的属性中,只有对自信和自信的偏好与年龄有关。然而,被认为是可以接受的年龄范围和理想伴侣的育儿意愿(这一维度在早期研究中大多被忽视)随着年龄的增长而变化很大。

The Link Between Age and Partner Preferences in a Large, International Sample of Single Women.

The Link Between Age and Partner Preferences in a Large, International Sample of Single Women.

Women's capacity to reproduce varies over the life span, and developmental goals such as family formation are age-graded and shaped by social norms about the appropriate age for completing specific developmental tasks. Thus, a woman's age may be linked to her ideas about what an ideal partner should be like. With the goals of replicating and extending prior research, in this study we examined the role of age in women's partner preferences across the globe. We investigated associations of age with ideal long-term partner preferences in a cross-cultural sample of 17,254 single (i.e., unpartnered) heterosexual women, ages 18 to 67, from 147 countries. Data were collected via an online questionnaire, the Ideal Partner Survey. Confirming our preregistered hypotheses, we found no or only negligible age effects on preferences for kindness-supportiveness, attractiveness, financial security-successfulness, or education-intelligence. Age was, however, positively associated with preferences for confidence-assertiveness. Consistent with family formation goals, age was associated with an ideal partner's parenting intentions (high until approximately age 30, then decreasing afterward). Age range deemed acceptable (and in particular, the discrepancy between one's own age and the minimum ideal age of a partner) increased with age. This latter pattern also replicated in exploratory analyses based on subsamples of lesbian and bisexual women. In summary, age has a limited impact on partner preferences. Of the attributes investigated, only preference for confidence-assertiveness was linked with age. However, age range deemed acceptable and an ideal partner's parenting intention, a dimension mostly neglected in earlier research, substantially vary with age.

期刊介绍: Human Nature is dedicated to advancing the interdisciplinary investigation of the biological, social, and environmental factors that underlie human behavior. It focuses primarily on the functional unity in which these factors are continuously and mutually interactive. These include the evolutionary, biological, and sociological processes as they interact with human social behavior; the biological and demographic consequences of human history; the cross-cultural, cross-species, and historical perspectives on human behavior; and the relevance of a biosocial perspective to scientific, social, and policy issues.
