Spreadbury, Constance Lizotte; Reever, Joy Bennett
Personnel and Guidance Journal, v57 n7 p338-40 Mar 1979
Examined which of two sociological theories of dating preference was more powerful in predicting women's actual dating frequency. The theories tested were Waller's theory, which emphasizes physical attractiveness, and Blood's theory, which emphasizes personality. Evidence supported Waller's theory. Discussion and implications for women and counselors are presented. (Author)
