To investigate this, during the first study, they asked 483 heterosexual and female participants - to evaluate photographs of opposite sex based on what the photos showed the buyers. The photos have exposed the subjects buying either an ecological brand of batteries, household appliances and clothing, compared to other photos showing buyers who devote a "conventional" mark (ie non-green) . Participants were invited to assess people in the photos based on four perceived variables: generosity, wealth, desirability and social or social orientation, or their perceived willingness to engage in occasional sex.
In the second study, they showed 360 men and 240 women photos of attractive classic people who also bought these three categories of products. Then, the participants wrote a try on a date of the photographed that they found the most attractive before finally evaluating their own probabilities to buy the same types of products presented on the photos.
A major discovery of the study was that buyers showed that the purchase of ecological products was considered more desirable partners in the short and long term. Passresearch Stressed the effect of similarity attraction, which simply means that we love people like us or seem to share our most essential values. (This theory also applies in Platonic scenarios. However, as the researchers said, the participants in the female study were more likely than men to draw an association between product preferences and probability of male subjects to be Faithful partners.)
