UPDATE
Trivers (1972)
Emphasised that the female makes a greater investment of time, commitment and resources before,
during and after the birth of her offspring.
Fisher (1930)
The sexy hypothesis states that a female mates with a male who has a desirable characteristics and this
sexy trait is inherited by her son. This increases the likelihood that successive generations of females will
mate with her offspring.
Buss (1980)
Carried out a survey of over 10,000 adults in 33 countries asking about partner preference. He found
that female respondents value resource-related characteristics such as good financial prospects and
ambition. Male respondents valued reproductive capacity in terms of good looks, chastity and youth.
Clark and Hatfield (1989)
Sent psychology students out across the campus to ask other students "I have been noticing you around
campus and I find you to be very attractive. Would you go to bed with me tonight?". No females agreed
but 75% of males agreed.
Singh (1993,2002)
, Measured waist-hip ratio preferences of males for females. Any waist and hip size can be attractive as
long as the ratio is 0.7 because this signifies that the female is fertile but not currently pregnant.
Waynforth and Dunbar (1995)
Studied lonely hearts advertisements in American newspapers. Respondents had the opportunity to
describe the qualities they desired in a partner whilst stating what they had to offer. The researchers
found that females tended to offer physical attractiveness and indicators of youth. Men offered
resources and sought relative youth.
Chang et al (2011)
Compared partner preferences in China over 25 years and found that some had changed but others
remained the same. Mate preferences are therefore the outcome of a combination of evolutionary and
cultural influence.
Altman and Taylor (1973)
Proposed social penetration theory.
Reis and Shaver (1988)
Suggest that there must be reciprocity as well as broadening and deepening of self-disclosure for a
relationship to develop. There is a balance of self-disclosure between both partners.
Sprecher and Hendrick (2004)
Studied heterosexual dating couples and found strong correlations between several measures of
satisfaction and self-disclosure.
Hass and Stafford (1998)
