Eine Studie mit 171 Speed-Dating-Sitzungen ergab, dass Menschen potenzielle Partner anhand einer Kombination von Merkmalen bewerten, anstatt sich auf ein einzelnes Merkmal zu konzentrieren. Die Studie ergab, dass Eigenschaften wie Freundlichkeit, Intelligenz, Selbstvertrauen und Kreativität die Anziehungskraft erheblich beeinflussen.

  1. I’ve linked to the news release in the post above. In this comment, for those interested, here’s the link to the peer reviewed journal article:

    https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/08902070241286254

    From the linked article:

    A study at the University of Queensland analyzed data from 171 speed-dating sessions to explore how valued traits influence dating choices. Participants rated attractiveness based on traits such as kindness, intelligence, and confidence, revealing a match between preferences and attraction. The findings suggest that evaluating multiple traits can enhance dating success.

    Key Takeaways

    – Key Traits Identified: The study found that traits such as kindness, intelligence, confidence, and creativity significantly influenced attraction.

    – Complexity of Attraction: Participants evaluate potential partners based on a combination of traits rather than focusing on a single attribute.

    – Broaden Your Perspective: Keeping an open mind during interactions may lead to better dating outcomes than fixating on specific traits.

    IMHO they should have rated the physical attractiveness before meeting and speaking to each other. People don’t want to seem vapid or self absorbed so they will justify liking attractive people by saying that person is a “good person” or “intelligent” They have done huge studies on dating websites showing that often women will say they care about that stuff, but their behavior shows that they actually just like super attractive dudes.

    Also people at an in person speed dating event might be more desperate/lonely to find a partner and willing to accept someone who is less attractive in favor of other benefits. Its interesting, but relying on people to tell the truth about their motivations is always going to be specious at best. just my opinion though.

    That’s how it works in dating situations outside of speed-dating sessions, no? We tend to not focus on one single attribute and look for who is the closest to be the “total package” (whatever our individual definition of “total package” is)
