The article presents the hypothesis that in the formation of judgements about a man’s biological fatherhood based on similarity of physical characteristics, people may take into consideration not only the similarity of father to child, but also of mother to child. The objective of the experiment was to conduct an initial investigation of that assumption. In the experiment, participants were presented with descriptions in which information was manipulated concerning the similarity of child to mother vs. to father vs. to neither of them. A total of 312 students of both sexes took participation in the experiment, having agreed to take part in a short psychological study immediately after classes were over. They were asked to read some short stories and to give their opinion as to whether the man described is the biological father of the child. It turned out that in conditions where the child’s appearance was dissimilar to both of the parents, the participants doubted the biological parenthood of the father. In conditions where the child was similar to the mother, the certainty of participants that the man was the biological father was as high as in conditions where the story indicated that the child was similar to him. The results thus suggest that information about a child’s similarity to its mother may, in some situations, be significant in the formulation of judgements on the biological fatherhood of a man.

亲子身体相似性作为人类父系的线索

本文提出的假设是,在基于身体特征相似性对男性生父的判断形成时,人们可能不仅考虑父亲与孩子的相似性,还考虑母亲与孩子的相似性。实验的目的是对该假设进行初步调查。在实验中,参与者被提供了描述,其中操纵了有关孩子与母亲、父亲与两者之间的相似性的信息。共有 312 名男女学生参加了实验,他们同意在课程结束后立即参加一项简短的心理研究。他们被要求阅读一些短篇小说,并就所描述的男人是否是孩子的生父发表意见。事实证明,在孩子的外表与父母双方都不同的情况下,参与者会怀疑父亲的亲生父母身份。在孩子与母亲相似的情况下,参与者对男人是亲生父亲的确定性与故事表明孩子与他相似的情况一样高。因此,结果表明,在某些情况下,有关孩子与其母亲相似性的信息可能对形成对男性生父的判断具有重要意义。参与者认为该男子是亲生父亲的确定性与故事表明孩子与他相似的情况一样高。因此,结果表明,在某些情况下,有关孩子与其母亲相似性的信息可能对形成对男性亲生父亲身份的判断具有重要意义。参与者认为该男子是亲生父亲的确定性与故事表明孩子与他相似的情况一样高。因此,结果表明,在某些情况下,有关孩子与其母亲相似性的信息可能对形成对男性生父的判断具有重要意义。
