在进化心理学的框架内，大多数关于人类外表的研究都集中在面部和身体形态的静态二维表征上。虽然这些实验对于测试人们的偏好和对身体特征的细微变化的反应是有用的，但这些类型的刺激的生态有效性存在固有的限制。最近关于女性对男性身体动作的感知的研究表明，女性从动作中获得的男性“质量”线索与从面部和身体中获得的相似。在这里，我们回顾研究的关键生物和社会特征，可以从身体动作，重点是女性的男性感知，并提出证据的断言，男性舞蹈动作，特别是影响女性的择偶偏好。我们支持这一点，报告初步的实证数据的研究（1）跨文化的相似性和差异，女性的男性舞蹈动作的看法和（2）女性的男性舞蹈，跑步和步行的看法之间的关系。最后，我们提出了一些想法，为未来的研究方向，以刺激科学调查的意义，男性身体动作的背景下，间和内的性选择。
The majority of studies on human physical appearance within the evolutionary psychology framework have focused on static two-dimensional representations of facial and body morphology. While such experiments are useful for testing people’s preferences and reactions to even subtle changes in physical features, there is an inherent limitation with regard to the ecological validity of these types of stimuli. Recent research on female perceptions of male body movements suggests that females derive similar cues of male “quality” from movement as from faces and bodies. Here we review studies on key biological and social characteristics that can be derived from body movements, with a focus on female perception of males, and present evidence for the assertion that male dance movements in particular affect female mate preferences. We support this by reporting preliminary empirical data of studies on (1) cross-cultural similarities and differences in female perceptions of male dance movements and (2) relationships between female perceptions of male dancing, running, and walking. Finally, we present some ideas for future research directions to stimulate the scientific investigation on the significance of male body movements in the context of inter- and intrasexual selection.
