几乎所有的人类择偶研究都发生在大规模的城市工业人口中。目前尚不清楚从这些种群中吸取的教训在多大程度上反映了人类交配心理的普遍特征,而不是对这些历史上不寻常的环境要求的局部反应。在这里,我们使用夫妇模拟,一种基于主体的建模技术,来比较美国样本(n= 1678)和厄瓜多尔科南博(厄瓜多尔亚马逊地区一个相对偏远的园艺觅食者社区)的k= 15对夫妇的配偶选择模型。Conambo样本为评估配偶选择模型提供了一个独特的机会,因为(1)该样本代表了该社区内大约50%的家庭,(2)该样本中的所有参与者都彼此熟悉。Conambo的参与者完成了一项排名任务,每个参与者根据他们作为配偶的质量对社区中的每个异性成年人进行排名。我们使用这些排名来模拟在其他配偶选择模型下的Conambo交配市场。我们发现这些模型能够高度准确地再现科南博婚姻,并且在科南博样本和美国样本中表现相当。具体来说,资源分配模型在重现美国和Conambo样本中的配偶选择方面表现最好。这些结果表明,至少人类交配心理的某些方面在大规模工业化和小规模人口中都是普遍存在的。
The near totality of human mate choice research occurs in large-scale, urban, industrial populations. It is unclear to what extent lessons learned from such populations reflect generalizable features of human mating psychology as opposed to localized responses to the demands of these historically unusual environments. Here, we use couple simulation, an agent-based modeling technique, to compare models of mate choice across both a U.S. sample (n= 1678) and a sample ofk= 15 couples from Conambo, Ecuador—a relatively remote community of horticultural-foragers in the Ecuadorian Amazon. The Conambo sample provides a unique opportunity to evaluate models of mate choice in that (1) this sample represents approximately 50% of the households within this community and (2) all of the participants in this sample are acquainted with one another. Participants in Conambo completed a ranking task in which each participant ranked each opposite-sex adult in the community in terms of their quality as a spouse. We used these rankings to simulate the mating market in Conambo under alternative models of mate choice. We find that these models are able to reproduce Conambo marriages at a high degree of accuracy and perform comparably across both the Conambo sample and U.S. samples. Specifically, the resource allocation model performs best in reproducing mate choices in both the U.S. and Conambo samples. These results suggest that at least some aspects of human mating psychology generalize across both large-scale industrialized and small-scale populations.
