The study explores the factors influencing partner selection in both long-term and short-term relationships, particularly focusing on physical attractiveness and resources. It highlights that while men consistently prioritize women's looks, women's criteria may shift based on the relationship type: valuing resources for long-term partnerships but favoring attractiveness for short-term encounters. Utilizing eye-tracking technology, researchers gathered data from 40 individuals assessing various dating profiles and their corresponding attractiveness and resource information, providing insights beyond traditional self-reports on dating preferences.
In assessing partner preferences through eye-tracking, the study revealed that men prioritize women's physical attractiveness regardless of the relationship type, while women's preferences shift between attraction and resources.
Researchers used eye-tracking techniques to objectively measure how potential partners are evaluated, revealing that physical appearance and resources are pivotal factors in partner choice.
