摘要

本文探讨了在生殖相关生活事件的适当年龄认知方面的性别差异。进化论认为,年龄规范是由特定性别的进化挑战形成的。我们检验了基于进化理论的两个假设。假设1表明,男性和女性都认为女性应该比男性更早成熟并经历与生殖相关的生活事件。假设2认为男性和女性不对称地表现出这种倾向。当女性估计男性的合适/理想年龄时,她们建议男性的合适年龄高于男性本身。当男性估计女性的合适/理想年龄时,他们建议女性的年龄比女性自己年轻。在论文的第二部分,我们通过测试基于“社会力量”(文化、社会经济地位、教育、年龄、价值观)的替代解释,探讨了这些说法的背景。这些假设使用ESS的第九波数据进行了测试,共有约4.7万名受访者,并对巴尔干国家的样本进行了更详细的分析。合适的年龄是用“理想年龄”这个概念来衡量的,这个概念反映了生殖相关事件的最佳时间预期:与伴侣生活、婚姻和为人父母。受访者还被要求对男性和女性成年的适当年龄做出判断。总体结果支持了基于进化方法的预期。这些结果并没有为对已识别模式的替代性、非进化性解释提供令人信服的证据。

Gender differences in perception of the appropriate maturity age for men and women: Age norms of reproduction-related life events between the social context and evolutionary foundations
The paper explores gender differences in the perception of appropriate age for reproduction-related life events. Evolutionary theory suggests that age norms are shaped by gender-specific evolutionary challenges. We tested two hypotheses based on the evolutionary rationale. Hypothesis 1 suggests that both men and women believe that women should reach maturity and experience reproduction-related life events earlier than men. Hypothesis 2 claims that men and women demonstrate this tendency asymmetrically. When women estimate the appropriate/ideal age for men, they suggest a higher appropriate age for men than men themselves. When men estimate the appropriate/ideal age for women, they suggest a younger age for women compared to women themselves. In the second part of the paper, we explored the background of these claims by testing the alternative explanations based on ‘social forces’ (culture, socio-economic status, education, age, values). The hypotheses were tested using the 9th wave of the ESS data, totaling around 47 thousand respondents and the sample of Balkan countries was analyzed in more detail. The appropriate age was measured using ‘ideal age’ as the concept which reflects the optimal timing expectations for reproduction-related events: living with a partner, marriage, and parenthood. Respondents were also asked to make judgments about the appropriate age of becoming an adult for men and women. The overall results supported the outlined expectations based on the evolutionary approach. The results did not provide convincing evidence for the alternative, non-evolutionary interpretation of the identified patterns.
