Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Young, Critelli, and Keith (2005) tested the evolutionary prediction that males would have a preference for younger females for long-term mating, but that age would not be as significant for a brief sexual encounter. They asked male students about their age preferences for a female partner in different social scenarios, and the results supported the evolutionary hypothesis that age is more important for long-term mating compared to short-term mating. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
