          Abstract

          Resumo Compreender a escolha por parceiros amorosos é relevante no sentido de minimizar possíveis problemas decorrentes de relacionamentos conflituosos. Este estudo objetivou conhecer em que medida a preferência por atributos desejáveis de um parceiro ideal varia segundo o sexo e o local de residência das pessoas. Participaram do estudo 3.124 indivíduos residentes em capitais (n = 1.583) ou cidades do interior (n = 1.541) dos nove estados do Nordeste brasileiro, com idade média de 23,6 anos (dp = 6,72), sendo 63,6% do sexo feminino. Estes responderam a Escala de Atributos Desejáveis do Parceiro Ideal e perguntas demográficas. Os resultados (Manova) mostraram diferenças nos atributos desejáveis de um parceiro ideal segundo o sexo: os homens deram maior importância ao componente atlética, enquanto as mulheres pontuaram mais alto no componente realizada. Observou-se ainda efeito do lugar de residência, onde os homens residentes no interior apresentaram maior média no atributo tradicional, ao passo que as mulheres residindo nesta localidade deram mais importância ao atributo realizada. Concluiu-se que o lugar de residência e, sobretudo, o sexo foram importantes para explicar as variações na preferência por atributos de um parceiro ideal, na direção prevista na literatura.

          Abstract Comprehending the choice of romantic partner is important in order to minimize possible problems stemming from conflictive loving relationships. This study aimed to identify to what extent the preference for desirable attributes in an ideal partner vary according to the respondent's gender and place of residence. A total of 3,124 people from capital cities (n = 1,583) or towns (n = 1,541) of the nine states of the Brazilian Northeast region participated in the study, with a mean age of 23.6 years (sd = 6.72) and 63.6% female. They answered the Desirable Attributes of the Ideal Partner Scale and demographic questions. Results (Manova) indicated differences in the desirable attributes in an ideal partner according to gender: the men gave greater importance to the athletic dimension, while the women scored higher in the accomplished dimension. An effect was also observed related to the place of residence, with the men living in towns presenting a higher mean score in the traditional dimension, whereas the women residing in this locality gave more importance to the athletic dimension. In conclusion, the place of residence and, above all, the gender were important in explaining the variations in preferences for attributes in an ideal partner, in agreement with the literature.

          Resumen Comprender la selección de parejas sentimentales es importante para minimizar los problemas potenciales que surgen de las relaciones románticas en conflicto. El objetivo de este estudio ha sido conocer en qué medida la preferencia por los atributos deseables de una pareja ideal varía según el sexo y el lugar de residencia de las personas. Participaron de la investigación 3.124 personas residiendo en la capital (n = 1.583) o ciudades del interior (n = 1.541) de los nueve estados del Noreste de Brasil, con una edad promedia de 23.6 años (de = 6.72), (63.6% mujeres). Éstos contestaron a la Escala de Atributos Deseables de una Pareja Ideal y cuestiones demográficas. Los resultados (Manova) indicaron diferencias en los atributos deseables de una pareja ideal según el sexo: los varones han dado mayor importancia al componente atlético, mientras que las mujeres puntuaron más alto en el componente realizada. También se ha observado efecto del lugar de residencia, en que los varones residentes en el interior dieron mayor importancia al atributo tradicional, mientras que las mujeres residiendo en esta localidad consideraron más importante el atributo atlético. Se concluyó que el lugar de residencia y, sobre todo, el sexo han sido importantes para explicar las variaciones en las preferencias por atributos de una pareja ideal, coherente con la literatura.

              Gender differences in mate selection preferences: a test of the parental investment model.

              Evolutionary-related hypotheses about gender differences in mate selection preferences were derived from Triver's parental investment model, which contends that women are more likely than men to seek a mate who possesses nonphysical characteristics that maximize the survival or reproductive prospects of their offspring, and were examined in a meta-analysis of mate selection research (questionnaire studies, analyses of personal advertisements). As predicted, women accorded more weight than men to socioeconomic status, ambitiousness, character, and intelligence, and the largest gender differences were observed for cues to resource acquisition (status, ambitiousness). Also as predicted, gender differences were not found in preferences for characteristics unrelated to progeny survival (sense of humor, "personality"). Where valid comparisons could be made, the findings were generally invariant across generations, cultures, and research paradigms.
