• Abstract: Mate choice copying (MCC) is a mate choice strategy in which individuals are influenced bythe evaluations of other individuals of the same sex (role models) on the target object during the matechoice process, so as to make similar mate choice decisions. In this study, 60 college students were used assubjects to explore the effects of role model evaluation type (positive evaluation vs. negative evaluation)and mate choice strategy (long-term strategy vs. short-term strategy) on mate choice copying through a2*2*2 mixed experiment, and to analyze the gender differences. The results found that: (1) Both malesand females produced mate-choice replications; (2) In the negative evaluation condition, the willingnessto engage in long-term interactions was significantly lower than the willingness to engage in short-terminteractions; (3) The willingness of males to engage in long-term interactions was significantly lowerthan the willingness of females to engage in long-term interactions in the negative evaluation condition.It is concluded that mate choice copying exists in both males and females, but the specific mate choicestrategies used by the two sexes are different; both sexes are more cautious than short-term relationshipswhen considering long-term relationships, and males are more sensitive to negative evaluationsthan females. This paper provides a new perspective for us to study how to establish and maintain aharmonious marital family, and in the future, we can further examine the relationship between matechoicecopying strategies and marital attitudes to make up for the lack of studies related to mate-choicecopying in China. 择偶复制（MateChoiceCopying）是指在择偶过程中个体受到其他同性别个体（榜样）对目标对象评价的影响，从而做出相似的择偶决策的一种择偶策略。本研究以60名大学生为被试，通过2*2*2的混合实验探讨榜样评价类型（积极评价vs.消极评价）、择偶策略（长期策略vs.短期策略）对择偶复制的影响，并分析其中的性别差异。结果发现：（1）男性和女性均产生择偶复制；（2）在消极评价条件下，长期交往意愿显著低于短期交往意愿；（3）在消极评价条件下，男性的长期交往意愿显著低于女性的长期交往意愿。据此得出结论，男性和女性都存在择偶复制现象，但两性使用的具体择偶策略不同；两性在考虑长期关系时都比短期关系更谨慎，男性对负面的评价比女性更敏感。本文为我们研究如何建立和维系和谐的婚姻家庭提供了新的视角，未来可进一步考察择偶复制策略与婚恋态度的关系，弥补国内择偶复制相关研究的不足。
