Associations of partner’s age with romantic desire, women ≤40 sample
Dependent measure | All Ps | Men | Women | Gender differences | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Partner age β1 | Partner age β1 | Partner age β1 | q | p | |
Romantic attraction | −0.09*** | −0.01 | −0.02 | −0.01 | 0.139 |
Overall rating | −0.07*** | 0.02 | −0.00 | −0.02 | 0.747 |
Second date decision | −0.01 | −0.02 | 0.01 | 0.03 | 0.143 |
Romantic desire (3-DV average) | −0.08*** | −0.01 | 0.00 | 0.01 | 0.581 |
Note: β1 (Eq. 1) is standardized and can be interpreted like r (0.10 = small, 0.30 = medium, 0.50 = large; Cohen, 1992). Second date decision odds ratios were converted to r using the tool provided by Lenhard and Lenhard (2022). Effect size q for the gender difference refers to the difference between the Men β1 and Momen β1 and has an effect size interpretation similar to r (negative qs are the opposite of the predicted direction; Cohen, 1992). P value for the gender differences refers to the interaction term between parameter β1 and gender when the interaction was added (along with the gender main effect) to Eq. 1. ***P < 0.001.
