Mate selection preferences and practices were studied in rural and urban settings in Bolivia. The research examined preferences in potential marital partners and also practices in couple formation. A social exchange perspective was used to explain potentially rewarding or costly characteristics of a potential partner. Rural and urban differences in Bolivia are profound in cultural and economic matters. Comparisons between the two cultural areas identified significant differences in mate selection preferences and practices. Results affirm major principles of exchange theory that individuals prefer potential partners with traits that are considered rewarding and avoid partners who are viewed as less attractive or costly. Important differences by region were identified and illustrate how social context plays an important role in shaping the couple formation process
