Changes in Attitude to Mate Selection. A Three-Year Study of Undergraduates’ Attitudes about Romantic Partners

The primary aim of the proposed study is to understand how individuals’ reports of attitudes towards mate selection change over a period of 1,095 days or approximately a three-year period. The secondary aim is to identify significant differences in the attitude about mate selection among four groups of religion: Islam, Buddhist, Christian and Hindu. The findings from this study would provide a strategy for the establishment of educational and counselling programs.

The research questions are:
What variables in attitudes about mate selection continue to evolve among the four groups of religions?
How do the four groups of religion vary in their attitudes about mate selection over time?
