Chapter 5124attractiveness preferences. Furthermore, we found that immediate attention was modulated by attractiveness for men, but not for women, while no consistent relationship between immediate attention and date outcome was found. With regard to voluntary attention, we found that both men and women looked longer at pictures of people that they found attractive and that they wanted to date again. However, attractiveness ratings were more predictive of voluntary attention than date outcome. Our results therefore suggest that especially voluntary attention can provide information about individual preferences and possibly also mate choice of people who are motivated to find a partner.Tom Roth.indd 124 08-01-2024 10:41
