嗅觉线索在塑造对同种人的情感态度方面发挥着重要但被低估的作用。在人类中,嗅觉线索会对行为产生影响。在一项评级研究(n = 290)中,女性对雄烯酮的气味进行了评级。对雄烯酮的情绪反应在月经周期中发生变化。女性认为男性体味的主要成分没有吸引力。这在排卵前后的受孕最佳状态转变为中性情绪反应。这一发现对有关发情期进化丧失的假设产生了直接影响。有人认为,雄烯酮的周期依赖性情绪评级可能有助于女性主动选择性伴侣,并且可能是女性择偶的直接线索。
Olfactory cues play a prominent, yet underestimated role in shaping emotional attitudes towards conspecifics. Among humans olfactory cues can have effects on behavior. In a rating study (n = 290) females rated the smell of androstenone. The emotional reaction to androstenone changed during the menstrual cycle. Females rated the main component of male body odor unattractive. This changed to a neutral emotional response at the conceptive optimum around ovulation. The finding has direct consequences for hypotheses concerning the evolutionary loss of estrus. It is suggested that the cyclic-dependent emotional rating of androstenone may facilitate active female choice of sex partners and may be a proximate cue for female mate-choice.
