Description
From the book : Evolutionary Psychology 6 issue 2 : 246-282.
As part of the International Sexuality Description Project, 13,243 participants from 46 nations responded to self-report measures of personality and mating behavior.
Several traits showed consistent links with short-term mating.
Extraversion positively correlated with interest in short-term mating, unrestricted sociosexuality, having engaged in short-term mate poaching attempts, having succumbed to short-term poaching attempts of others, and lacking relationship exclusivity.
Low levels of agreeableness and conscientiousness also related to short-term mating, especially with extra-pair mating.
Neuroticism and openness were associated with short-term mating as well, but these links were less consistent across sex and nation.
Nation-level links between personality and sexuality replicated within-region findings, such as the strong association between national extraversion and national sociosexuality.
Discussion focuses on the origins of personality-sexuality links and their implications across nations.
