达尔文的性选择理论表明,个体与自己的性别成员竞争由异性成员持有的生殖相关资源。四个实证研究进行了识别策略的性内配偶竞争和测试四个进化为基础的假设。一项初步研究得出了一种战术分类法。研究一使用亲密朋友观察员报告23种策略的执行频率来检验假设。研究2通过使用不同的数据源和受试者人群复制了研究1的结果。研究3提供了一个独立的测试的假设,在评估男性和女性演员的每种策略的感知效果。虽然所有三项研究都支持基本假设,但仍有一些预测失败和意外发现。讨论集中在进化理论的启发性和预测性作用,以及对其他领域的性内竞争的影响。
Darwin's theory of sexual selection suggests that individuals compete with members of their own sex for reproductively relevant resources held by members of the opposite sex. Four empirical studies were conducted to identify tactics of intrasexual mate competition and to test four evolution-based hypotheses. A preliminary study yielded a taxonomy of tactics. Study 1 used close-friend observers to report performance frequencies of 23 tactics to test the hypotheses. Study 2 replicated Study 1's results by using a different data source and subject population. Study 3 provided an independent test of the hypotheses in assessing the perceived effectiveness of each tactic for male and female actors. Although the basic hypotheses were supported across all three studies, there were several predictive failures and unanticipated findings. Discussion centers on the heuristic as well as predictive role of evolutionary theory, and on implications for other arenas of intrasexual competition.
