英文摘要：

People may value possessions, because ownership of goods promotes feelings of security. If so, women with low securityshould be inclined to choose men with good material condition as their mates. We test this prediction in three studies, recruiting unmar-ried working women from Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. In Study 1, we developed a scenario - based questionnaire to measure women＇s preference in mate - choosing. There are three per-sonal ads in the questionnaire, each shows a man＇s photo and text describing the man＇s character condition, appearance condition andmaterial condition. The three men are equivalent on the whole, without significant difference in the average score of the three conditions（F（2, 162） =. 06, ns） or in age （F（2, 162） =. 13, ns）. But the first man＇s character condition is outstanding while the other twomen＇s are ordinary （F（2, 162） =69. 38, p 〈0. 001, ηp2 =. 46, 1 -β = 1.00）, the second man＇s appearance condition is outstandingwhile the other two men＇s are ordinary （ F（2, 162） = 80. 13, p 〈0. 001, r/p2 =. 50, 1 -β= 1.00）, the third man＇s material condition isoutstanding while the other two men＇s are ordinary （ F（2, 162） = 87. 84, p 〈. 001, 7/p2 =. 52, 1 -β = 1.00）. We assume that womenwho choose the first man prefer character condition, those who choose the second man prefer appearance condition, and those whochoose the third man prefer material condition. In Study 2, we used the scenario - based questionnaire and security questionnaire （ a =. 91 ） to explore the relationship betweenwomen＇s security and their material preference in mate - choosing （357 valid questionnaires）. The results show that the women choosingthe third man with outstanding material condition hold significantly lower level of security than the women choosing the first man and arenot significantly different from the women choosing the second man （M hooisho 1st = 3. 52, SD hoois ,he a, = 59;M hoosingthe2nd man =3.27, SD hoosinglhe2ndman = .8
