RESUMO
Could Future Discounting and Sexual Strategies result of a common cognitive mechanism of investment allocation? Future Discounting refers to the fact that people (and other organism) usually prefer to consume and acquire resources in a more imminent way than wait for a uncertain future, involving impulsivity and risky behavior (Daly &Wilson, 2001). Sexual Strategies are a integrated system of adaptations that organize and guide individual allocation of reproductive efforts, influencing how individuals select partners, how much they invest in the mating and parental spheres, etc (Buss &Schmitt, 1993). Variations found between sexes and individuals in this behavioral strategies are resultant of differential parental investment allocation. The existence of common variation between sexes and individuals, such as correlations of the two strategies, support the existence of a common mechanism. In the present work were realized two studies. In the first study was found, only for women, direct relationship between the strategies, where the more discounting women are more sexually unrestricted, and were found common variation between the strategies and ontogenetic and environmental factors. In the second study was conformed the direct relationship to women and was found the same relationship to men, and common variations between the strategies and behavioral factors. The results support the hypotheses of common cognitive mechanism of investment allocation, showing different specificities and sensibilities between sexes.
