我们测试了这样一个假设：与社会性行为受限的个体相比，那些不受限制的求偶方式的个体会选择性地将视觉注意力分配给有吸引力的异性。我们还测试了这种影响的性别差异。74名参与者完成了社会性取向量表，并完成了一项基于计算机的任务，评估他们发现有吸引力和没有吸引力的配偶和女性面孔变化的速度。反应时间的差异是选择性注意的指标。结果表明：与受社会性行为限制的男性相比，不受社会性行为限制的男性选择性地将注意力分配给有吸引力的异性；在女性中没有出现这种影响。这一发现是针对异性目标的，并没有出现在对同性的关注中。这些结果为社会环境中注意力的适应性分配提供了越来越多的文献。(C)) 2007爱思唯尔公司版权所有。
We tested the hypothesis that, compared with sociosexually restricted individuals, those with an unrestricted approach to mating would selectively allocate visual attention to attractive opposite-sex others. We also tested for sex differences in this effect. Seventy-four participants completed the Sociosexual Orientation Inventory and performed a computer-based task that assessed the speed with which they detected changes in attractive and unattractive mate and female faces. Differences in reaction times served as indicators of selective attention. Results revealed a SexxSociosexuality interaction: Compared with sociosexually restricted men, unrestricted men selectively allocated attention to attractive opposite-sex others; no such effect emerged among women. This finding was specific to opposite-sex targets and did not occur in attention to same-sex others. These results contribute to a growing literature on the adaptive allocation of attention in social environments. (C)) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
