Resumo:Evolutionary Psychology focuses on several topics to better understand the human mind and behavior. In this way, understanding how third parties perceive social status and mating value when related to the status of higher education courses is part of the field of interest of this science. Therefore, the present study aims to assess whether the status of the higher education course affects the perception that third parties have about the social status and the mating value of subjects-stimulus, in light of the evolutionary perspective. To that end, online forms were applied to 252 participants of both sexes in order to independently assess two stimulus subjects who had low or high status training, as well as different hobbies. When conducting the survey, participants were asked to, in their perception, rate the stimulus subjects from 1-10 on the Subjective Social Status Scale and indicate the mating value of each of them through two questions that offered scales of 1-7, adapted from the Mating Value Scale. The results of the experimental study indicated that for the perception of social status a significant difference was found between the experimental conditions of high diploma and low status diploma. While in the evaluation of the perception of the mating value, no significant difference was found in the comparison of the values of the experimental conditions of high degree and low status. With the accomplishment of this work, it is expected to add data and a critical reflection about the understanding of how the choice of higher education training can impact the perception of third parties regarding social status and mating value, and thus, contribute to the advancement of the theoretical framework in the field of evolutionary psychology.
