    5. Partner Ideal Standard Scales (Fletcher et al., 1999) Partner Warmth/Trustworthiness: understanding, supportive, considerate, kind, a good listener, sensitive. Partner Vitality/Attractiveness: adventurous, nice body, outgoing, sexy, attractive, good lover. Partner Status/Resources: good job, financially secure, nice house or apartment, appropriate ethnicity, successful, dresses well From: Fletcher, G. J. O., Simpson, J., & Thomas, G. (1999). Ideals in close relationships. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 76, 72-89.

    6. Functions of Ideals Evaluation: To evaluate the quality of partners and relationships (e.g., to assess the value of potential or current partners/relationships). Explanation: To explain and understand what is happening in relationships (e.g., to give causal accounts explaining relationship satisfaction, problems, or conflicts). Regulation: To regulate and make adjustments in relationships (e.g., to predict and possibly control current partners and relationships).

    7. Correlations between ideal-perception consistency and relationship satisfaction

    10. Relationship Regulation

    11. Overall et al. (2006): 62 Couples Over Six Months (Warmth/Trustworthiness: Women)

    18. Choosing vitality/attractiveness over warmth/trustworthiness (Constant = status/resources)

    19. Choosing vitality/attractiveness over status/resources (Constant = warmth/trustworthiness)

    20. Conclusions Does the intimate relationship mind exist? Can and should social psychology and cognition and evolutionary psychology cohabit? Are relationship ideals stored in modular form? Do standard sex differences in mate ideals exist in egalitarian cultures (like New Zealand)?
