Fantasy-Testing-Assessment: A Proposed Model for the Investigation of Mate Selection.

Nofz, Michael P.

Family Relations, v33 n2 p273-81 Apr 1984

Proposes a model for mate selection which outlines three modes of interpersonal relating--fantasy, testing, and assessment (FTA). The model is viewed as a more accurate representation of mate selection processes than suggested by earlier theories, and can be used to clarify couples' understandings of their own relationships.
