Finding someone with whom you want to be in a committed relationship is tough but making the relationship last may be even tougher. In the American Psychological Association’s (APA) February issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, evolutionary psychologists examine, for the first time, mate retention tactics that range from being overly watchful to threatening violence.
To find out what husbands and wives value in their partners and what they do to keep their marriages intact, psychologist David M. Buss, Ph.D., the leading expert on the evolution of mating strategies as well as author of “The Evolution of Desire: Strategies of Human Mating,” and psychologist Todd K. Shackelford, Ph.D., of the University of Texas at Austin asked 214 married people what tactics they used to keep their mate. Some of the tactics included how often the partners participated in some of the following behaviors:
“I called her at unexpected times to see who she was with”
“I didn’t take him to a party where other females would be present”
The men and women in the study were also asked if a mate’s attractiveness, the likeliness of infidelity, age, resources and effort to get ahead would affect their level of effort in staying married.
