Abstract: In order to explore how individuals choose their spouses under different feelings of money and time, 370 and 382 subjects were recruited to prime their feelings of money abundance (deprivation) and time abundance (deprivation) respectively, and then they were asked to complete the Mate Selection Criterial Scale (MSCS). The results were as follows: 1) Individuals primed with money (time) abundance feeling put forward a higher standard of mate selection than individuals primed with money (time) deprivation; individuals feeling rich in money raised the standard on the characteristics related to appearance and socio-economic status, while those feeling rich in time raised the standard on the characteristics related to personality and socio-economic status. 2)The interaction between money priming and sex was not significant. Compared with the money deprivation priming group, male did not put forward higher mate selection criteria under money abundance priming. 3) The interaction between time priming and sex was significant. Compared with the time abundance priming group, female would lower their mate selection criteria after time deprivation priming, while male would not.

摘要: 为了探究不同的金钱和时间感受下个体如何选择配偶,分别招募了370和382名被试,启动个体的金钱富足/剥夺感受和时间富足/剥夺感受,并完成择偶标准量表。结果发现:(1)相比于金钱/时间剥夺感受启动下的个体,金钱/时间富足感受启动下的个体会提出更高的择偶标准;金钱富足感受启动下个体会在外貌和社会经济地位等特质上提高标准,而时间富足感受启动下个体会在性格和社会经济地位等特质上提高标准。(2)金钱启动下,启动组别和性别的交互作用不显著,相比于金钱剥夺感受启动组,男性不会在金钱富足感受启动下提出更高的择偶标准。(3)时间启动下,启动组别和性别的交互作用显著,相比于时间富足感受启动组,女性在时间剥夺感受启动下会降低择偶标准,而男性不会。
