通过两个实验对两种倾向受潜在受体年龄影响的假设进行了研究。在实验1中，从16对面部轮廓图或年龄标签（例如，“2岁”）那些他们觉得最有必要保护的人（即，每一对中最“防御挑衅”的）。两组人都倾向于选择更年轻和更年长的人，而不是更中年的人。在实验2中，另外两组40名成年人组成的配对小组对一系列面部轮廓图的防御挑衅性或拥抱性进行了评级，这些面部轮廓图显示了从新生儿到70岁的8个年龄段的男性。虽然额定的拥抱下降描绘年龄增加，从6个月起，额定的防御挑衅随着年龄的下降，从出生到35岁，但此后增加。这些结果基本上与预期一致，即成年人保护或拥抱他人的倾向根据不同年龄段的个人对这些形式的照顾的典型需求而变化。
The hypothesis that two caregiving tendencies are affected by the age of potential recipients was investigated in two experiments. In Experiment 1, two matched groups of 40 young adults selected from 16 pairs of either facial profile drawings or age-labels (e.g., “2-year-old”) those individuals that they would feel most compelled to protect (i.e., the most “defense-provoking” in each pair). Both groups tended to select younger and more elderly individuals over more middle-aged ones. In Experiment 2, two more matched groups of 40 adults rated the defense-provokingness or the cuddliness of a series of facial profile drawings showing a male at eight ages, from newborn to 70 years old. Although rated cuddliness decreased as portrayed age increased from age 6 months onward, rated defense-provokingness decreased with age from birth to 35 years, but increased thereafter. These results are generally consistent with the expectation that adults' tendency to protect or cuddle others varies in accordance with the typical neediness of individuals of different age levels for these forms of care.
