Abstract

Ideal partner preferences for traits in a partner are said to be stable cognitive constructs. However, longitudinal studies investigating the same participants' ideals repeatedly have so far been limited to relatively short retest intervals of a maximum of 3 years. Here, we investigate the stability and change of ideals across 13 years and participants' insight into how ideals have changed. A total of 204 participants (M = 46.2 years, SD = 7.4, 104 women) reported their ideals at two time points. We found a mean rank-order stability of r = .42 and an overall profile stability of r = .73 (distinctive r = .53). Some ideals changed over time, for example, increased for status-resources in relation to age and parenthood. We found some but varying insight into how ideals had changed (mean r = .20). Results support the idea of ideals being stable cognitive constructs but suggest some variability related to the demands of different life stages.

理想伴侣偏好的个体差异在 13 年间的稳定性和变化。
据说,理想伴侣对伴侣特质的偏好是一种稳定的认知结构。然而,迄今为止,对同一参与者的理想进行反复调查的纵向研究仅限于相对较短的重测间隔,最长不超过 3 年。在此,我们调查了 13 年间理想的稳定性和变化,以及参与者对理想如何变化的洞察力。共有 204 名参与者(男 = 46.2 岁,女 = 7.4,104 名女性)在两个时间点报告了他们的理想。我们发现,平均排序稳定性 r = 0.42,总体特征稳定性 r = 0.73(独特性 r = 0.53)。随着时间的推移,一些理想发生了变化,例如,与年龄和养育子女有关的地位-资源方面的理想有所增加。我们发现了一些关于理想如何变化的洞察力,但各不相同(平均 r = .20)。调查结果表明,理想是一种稳定的认知结构,但也存在一些与不同生活阶段的需求有关的变化。
