先前的研究已经证明，荷尔蒙、恋爱目标和社会环境会影响人们对异性的兴趣。然而，之前还没有关于有现在性伴侣是否也会影响对异性的兴趣的报道。为了检验这一点，我们通过测量男性和女性在评估异性面孔照片时的主观评分和反应时间，获得了显性和隐性的兴趣测量。59名男性和56名女性对510张异性脸照片的真实性、男子气概、吸引力或情感进行了评分。我们发现，无论是男性还是女性，这些主观评分都不受伴侣地位的影响。然而，没有报告有现在性伴侣的女性比有伴侣的女性花更多的时间来评估照片，表现出对照片更大的兴趣。性伴侣状况并不能预测男性的反应时间。这些发现可能揭示，女性对关系的承诺抑制了对替代伴侣的兴趣。
Previous research has demonstrated that hormones, relationship goals, and social context influence interest in the opposite sex. It has not been previously reported, however, whether having a current sexual partner also influences interest in members of the opposite sex. To test this, we obtained explicit and implicit measures of interest by measuring men’s and women’s subjective ratings and response times while they evaluated photos of opposite-sex faces. Fifty-nine men and 56 women rated 510 photos of opposite-sex faces for realism, masculinity, attractiveness, or affect. We found that these subjective ratings were not influenced by partner status in either men or women. However, women who did not report having a current sexual partner spent more time evaluating the photos than women who did have partners, demonstrating greater interest in the photos. Sexual partner status did not predict men’s response times. These findings may reveal that relationship commitment in women suppresses interest in alternative partners.
