Speed Dating Experiment

What attributes influence the selection of a romantic partner? (annavictoria/speed-dating-experiment)   []

What influences love at first sight? (Or, at least, love in the first four minutes?) This [dataset][1] was compiled by Columbia Business School professors Ray Fisman and Sheena Iyengar for their paper [Gender Differences in Mate Selection: Evidence From a Speed Dating Experiment][2]. Data was gathered from participants in experimental speed dating events from 2002-2004. During the events, the attendees would have a four minute "first date" with every other participant of the opposite sex. At the end of their four minutes, participants were asked if they would like to see their date again. They were also asked to rate their date on six attributes: Attractiveness, Sincerity, Intelligence, Fun, Ambition, and Shared Interests. The dataset also includes questionnaire data gathered from participants at different points in the process. These fields include: demographics, dating habits, self-perception across key attributes, beliefs on what others find valuable in a mate, and lifestyle information. See the Speed Dating Data Key document below for details. For more analysis from Iyengar and Fisman, read [Racial Preferences in Dating][3]. Data Exploration Ideas ---------------------- - What are the least desirable attributes in a male partner? Does this differ for female partners? - How important do people think attractiveness is in potential mate selection vs. its real impact? - Are shared interests more important than a shared racial background? - Can people accurately predict their own perceived value in the dating market? - In terms of getting a second date, is it better to be someone's first speed date of the night or their last?
