However, less is known about how men interpret dress-based beautification cues when evaluating women as potential romantic partners across different mating contexts. The present study examined whether perceived attractiveness, autonomy, and connectedness derived from female dress jointly predict men\u2019s romantic judgment and whether these associations differ between short-term and long-term relationship contexts.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A between-subjects design was used in which heterosexual male participants (\n                      <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f=\u202f405) were randomly assigned to either a short-term or long-term romantic evaluation condition. They rated ten female dress stimuli on attractiveness, autonomy, connectedness, and romantic judgment, yielding 4,050 observations.
