      personal advertisement: Evidence from Q-sort technique.

AB  - Human's preferences for altruistic mates have been confirmed by many researchers. 
      Under the deep influence of Confucianism that authorised more parental control 
      over offspring's mate selection, Chinese people's mating strategies and mate 
      preferences may be different from what the evolutionary psychologists have 
      suggested. This study used the Q-sort technique to assess the roles of altruistic 
      traits in mate selection and personal advertisement. A total of 200 university 
      students participated in the Q-sort procedures and were asked to sort 50 traits 
      (among which altruistic traits were mixed) according to their importance when 
      choosing (or advertising to) a long-term (LT) or a short-term (ST) mate. Our 
      findings were quite different from prior studies. When Chinese participants chose 
      a mate or advertised themselves to a potential mate, kin altruism was considered 
      to be the most important trait; altruistic traits were more preferred by males 
      than by females and females tended to advertise themselves as more altruistic; 
      preferences for altruistic traits showed no difference between LT and ST mate 
      selections (or between personal advertisement to a LT and a ST mate).
