ABSTRACT

Research has long noted that there are differences between men’s and women’s responses to casual sexual requests. In this study, we sought to replicate and extend the Clark and Hatfield paradigm while exploring the influence of requestor attractiveness, sexual orientation, and two individual difference measures: sociosexuality (which is how open to sexuality a person is) and personal mate value (which is how high quality of a mate the person is). We found that attractiveness matters in the likelihood of a request being accepted (the more attractive the requester, the higher the proportion of agreement); sexual orientation matters for the overall proportion of responses agreed to (heterosexuals were most impacted by the attractiveness of the target), and that sociosexuality moderates the likelihood of agreeing to the requests (such that participants with higher sociosexuality scores were more likely to agree to requests).

摘要

长期以来的研究表明，男性和女性对随意性请求的反应存在差异。在这项研究中，我们试图复制和扩展克拉克和哈特菲尔德范式，同时探索请求者吸引力、性取向和两个个体差异测量的影响：社会性欲（一个人对性的开放程度）和个人配偶价值（即是一个人的配偶质量有多高）。我们发现吸引力在请求被接受的可能性中很重要（请求者越有吸引力，同意的比例就越高）；性取向对同意回答的总体比例很重要（异性恋受目标吸引力的影响最大），
