2019, Economics of Education ReviewCitation Excerpt :Most of the abovementioned studies suffer from various limitations preventing their results to be interpreted as causal effects. First, many studies – especially those in the field of psychology – examined data on stated mate preferences (Buss, 1989; Buss & Barnes, 1986; Buss et al., 1990; Shackelford et al., 2005; Whyte et al., 2018; Wiederman & Allgeier, 1992). However, the main issue with stated mate preferences is that they do not necessarily coincide with actual mate preferences, as it is not (always) the case that individuals pick a partner who satisfies their a priori stated preferences for a potential partner (Eastwick & Finkel, 2008; Hitsch et al., 2010b; Todd, Penke, Fasolo & Lenton, 2007; Whyte & Torgler, 2017b).
Testing evolutionary and cultural theories regarding mate selection in Turkey
2018, Personality and Individual DifferencesCitation Excerpt :We examine this relationship in Turkey for both women's and men's preferences. Finally, in this research, instead of directly measuring the income level of the participants (e.g., Townsend, 1989; Wiederman & Allgeier, 1992), we measured the income of their families which we consider to be more predictive. As a matter of fact, in Eagly and Wood's (1999) account, a woman is expected to choose a partner consistent with the social stratum of her family.

2017, Computers in Human BehaviorCitation Excerpt :Moreover, in contrast to women, men's fertility does not diminish completely as they age. Hence, their advanced age does not necessarily reduce their attractiveness (Wiederman & Allgeier, 1992). These arguments (Archer, 1996 (Wiederman & Allgeier, 1992);) are consistent with research on dating sites for older adults.
