Macken Murphy: 本研究挑战了进化心理学领域关于女性不忠行为的传统观点。过去,主流观点认为女性不忠的主要动机是为了获得更好的基因,即所谓的“双重交配”假说。然而,本研究发现,女性婚外情伴侣在体貌上更具吸引力,但在育儿方面不如主要伴侣,这与双重交配假说相符。此外,研究还发现男性也遵循同样的模式,这与传统的观点相悖。研究还发现,关系不满意是男性和女性不忠的首要原因,但女性更倾向于表达这种不满意。女性不忠的其他原因还包括主要伴侣投资不足和报复。 Chris Williamson: 本访谈探讨了Macken Murphy关于人类不忠行为的新研究。该研究考察了双重交配假说和配偶转换假说,并对男性和女性不忠行为的动机进行了分析。研究结果支持双重交配假说,即女性在婚外情中寻求更好的基因,而在主要关系中寻求更好的育儿投资。男性也表现出类似的模式。访谈还讨论了嫉妒、不忠行为的预测因素以及不忠行为的遗传性等问题。

Deep Dive

Chapters
Macken Murphy discusses the evolutionary drivers of infidelity, focusing on the debate between the dual mating and mate-switching hypotheses. He explains that dual mating suggests women seek better genes from affair partners while maintaining the investment of their primary partner, while mate-switching suggests women seek a better overall mate. The study involved surveying people who admitted to having affairs.
  • Dual mating suggests women seek better genes from affair partners while keeping their primary partner's investment.
  • Mate-switching suggests women seek an overall better mate through infidelity.
  • The study collected data from people who had actually experienced affairs.
