Individual attractiveness preferences predict attention1135Therefore, we further explored the slope per Gender. We found a robust negative effect of Pre-date attractiveness rating of probe picture for men (bmen = − 2.51 [0.67], 89% CrI [− 3.59; − 1.48], pd-= 1.00), indicating that men responded faster by 2.51 ms when the attractiveness rating of the probe picture was increased by 1. For women, on the other hand, we found no robust effect (bwomen = 0.30 [0.85], 89% CrI [− 1.03; 1.59], pd+ = 0.64). Thus, men seemed to respond faster to the probe when they considered the image that was replaced by the probe highly attractive, while no robust effect was found for women (Figure 1 lower panel).We performed the same analysis with the Post-date attractiveness ratings as predictor. This analysis yielded the same results (Supplementary Table 2).Figure 1. Conditional effect plot showing associations between Pre-date attractiveness rating and Reaction Time (RT) separate per Gender. The black line represents the median effect, while the grey ribbon represents the 95% credible interval.Tom Roth.indd 113 08-01-2024 10:41
