生活本研究以321位女性的历史资料、男性照片的吸引力等级、对伴侣关系的态度以及对子女养育的态度为研究对象，探讨了四种演化模式（数量生殖策略、男性短缺、一夫多妻指示和母亲生殖兴趣），试图解释家庭组成对生殖策略的影响。研究了初潮早期与生殖策略的其他标志物之间的联系。研究发现，童年时期的压力和父亲形象的缺失（无论是否与遗传有关）会加速月经初潮，而有弟弟妹妹会减缓月经初潮。初潮提前与吸引力评级、近期渴望的伴侣数量以及亲密关系的早期开始有关。它与社会性取向、择偶标准和对自己孩子的投资无关，但这三个标记是相互关联的。四个进化模型的研究结果的影响进行了讨论。
Life. history data, attractiveness ratings of male photographs, and attitudes towards partnership and child-rearing of 321 women were used to test four evolutionary models (quantitative reproductive strategy, male shortage, polygyny indication, and maternal reproductive interests) which attempt to explain the influence of family composition on reproductive strategies. Links between early menarche and other markers of reproductive strategy were investigated. Childhood stress and absence of a father figure, whether genetically related or not, were found to have accelerated menarche whereas having younger siblings decelerated it. Early menarche was associated with attractiveness ratings, the number of partners desired for the immediate future, and the early onset of intimate relationships. It was not linked with sociosexual orientation, mate choice criteria, and investment in the subjects' own children, but these three markers were interrelated. The implications of the findings for the four evolutionary models are discussed.
