Apostolou,Shialos & Georgiadou (2019) conducted an online survey of (n=735;431 women and 304 men) Greek speaking individuals. | |||
The survey was conducted utilizing Google forms, and consisted of five parts: A scale designed to measure life satisfaction, a scale designed to measure happiness, the participants usual daily mood, how much positive or negative emotions the participants felt, and the participants self-reported level of mating success. | |||
It was found that this measure was reliable, as it was correlated with the participants likelihood to be single and their self-reported number of past relationships. | |||
An analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) performed on the data compiled by the researchers found that the researchers measure of 'mating success (i.e how easy the participants reported being able to initiate and maintain romantic and sexual relationships) was significantly correlated with life satisfaction, levels of positive or negative emotions,and how happy the participants reported they were. | |||

*''The results indicated a significant effect of mating performance...with a positive coefficient (0.898) suggesting that a one point increase in the mating performance would result in 0.898 increase in the 0 to 10 scale. Note that the age and the sex were not significant.'' | |||
*''Consistent with our original hypothesis, we found that people who indicated poor mating performance experienced more negative emotions such as sadness and loneliness, and fewer positive emotions such as happiness and excitement, and they were less satisfied with their lives.'' | |||
* ''To put it differently, a substantial part of poor emotional state observed in the population may be due to poor mating performance. This being the case, research in this area can potentially have important implications for improving well-being - poor mental state could be improved by devising ways to improve mating performance. In turn, this has implications that go beyond the realm of psychology''. | |||
* ''Alleviating poor mating performance, in most instances, requires external to the individual assistance. | |||
