“…As hypothesised, women rated highly altruistic men as more desirable than low altruistic men for long-term relationships only, which supports the findings of previous ALTRUISM AND RESOURCE POTENTIAL IN MATE CHOICE 8 research (Farrelly, 2013;Farrelly et al, 2016;Farrelly & Bhogal, 2021;Farrelly & King, 2019). Furthermore, there was clear evidence to support Hypothesis 2 as altruism was rated more desirable than resource potential and this was greater for long-term relationships.…”

“…Previous research has used images of men and women of varying attractiveness and found that participants respond in the manner predicted (e.g. Farrelly & Bhogal, 2021;Farrelly et al, 2007;Bhogal et al, 2019b), suggesting that the lack of such stimuli used here may have affected the findings. However recent research has shown that the use of gendered names alone is enough to influence altruistic behavior (Farmer & Farrelly, 2021).…”

“…There is wide support for this idea, with several studies linking altruistic behavior with the desirability and/or attractiveness of a potential mate, for both female and male mate choice (See Bhogal et al, 2019a for a recent review of the literature). This is typified by the variety of types of altruistic behaviors, which are all viewed as desirable within a mate such as heroism (Margana et al, 2019) and trustworthiness (Ehlebracht et al, 2018) and proenvironmentalism (Borau et al, 2021;Farrelly & Bhogal, 2021;Palomo-Vélez et al, 2021).…”

“…Acting sustainably as a consumer has emerged as a social norm, and sustainable consumption can reward people with heightened social status and communicate desired qualities on the mating market (Farrelly & Bhogal, 2021;Griskevicius et al, 2010;Palomo-Vélez et al, 2021;Van de Grint et al, 2021). Securely attached individuals should seek contact with others (Ainsworth et al, 2015); thus, they are likely to comply with social norms more than those who have one of the two insecure attachment styles.…”
