Table 1. Standardized coefficients (β) for body traits as predictors of attractiveness in linear regression analyses for each sex and relationship type.

Sex of Target Body	RelationshipType	BodyTrait	β	t	p
Male	STR	WCR	−.532	−4.98	<0.0001
		VHIdev	−.420	−3.93	<0.001
	LTR	WCR	−.539	−5.21	<0.0001
		VHIdev	−.425	−4.10	<0.001
Female	STR	WHR	−.275	−2.46	<0.05
		VHIdev	−.658	−5.89	<0.0001
	LTR	WHR	−.318	−2.70	<0.05

Notes: STR = Short-term relationship; LTR = Long-term relationship; WHR = Waist-hip ratio; WCR = Waist-chest ratio; VHI = Volume-height index; VHI_dev = absolute deviation from sex-specific optimal VHI (VHI_dev =|VHI−VHI_opt|). Values of p are two-tailed.
