Does a woman’s age predict her preferences for an ideal partner? Through a cross-cultural study of heterosexual women ages 18-67 from 147 countries, the authors of this article find that age has a negligible effect on a woman’s partner preferences in general. However, they do find some relationships between age and specific preferences, such as confidence-assertiveness, intention to be a parent, and the age range deemed acceptable for a partner.

The authors test the relationship between disease prevalence and three different personality traits, with the expectation that pathogen load will be negatively associated with degree of sociosexuality, extraversion, and openness to experience. This prediction is supported by all three tests, which they theorize is an example of cultural behaviors adapting to reduce vulnerability to environmental risks.
