Abstract
The purpose of this research was to examine whether early caregiving experiences are associated with adult mate preferences. Participants completed an online survey in which they rated the attractiveness of target faces. Participants born to older parents were more attracted to older faces compared with participants born to younger parents. The results are consistent with the idea that early experiences may play a role in shaping later mate preferences.
