Parent–child discrepancies in mate preferences
Through the lens of evolutional psychology, mate preferences are posited into a three “G” framework (good genes, good resources, and good persons/parents/partners) that captures genetic quality, resource acquisition, and personality and caregiving qualities. Previous research acknowledged that adult children had different mate preferences from their parents, but had no consensus on how such differences existed in certain mate characteristics. Thi…

In the current research, we aimed to investigate the relation between implicit theories of relationships (ITRs) and RS and the potential moder…
