How can I measure perceived size of mating pool?

16 October 2018 1 6K Report

I want to measure the perceived size of my participants' mating pool (i.e., how many potential partners that surround them in everyday life). Is anyone familiar with validated/previously used measures for this?

Thanks in advance!

Robin Rinn

Not really. But you might get an idea how to measure that through a paper from Baumeister & Vohs 2004 (Sexual Economics: Sex as Female Resource for Social Exchange in Heterosexual Interactions).

Good luck!
