Mate Selection in Nontraditional Romantic Relationships: Why Women Seek Incarcerated Men as Romantic Partners

Abstract | Word Stems | Keywords | Association | Citation | Get this Document | Similar Titles



Abstract:

The past three decades have witnessed a large amount of research on mate selection. However, past theories of mate selection fall short in explaining why some women choose incarcerated men for their partners. Prior studies on the partners of prisoners focus on women who had known their partner prior to his incarceration. Thus, these studies offer little insight into why some women choose to enter into a romantic relationship with an inmate they did not know prior to his imprisonment. The present study has been designed to fill the gap in the current literature by examining this group of women.
