Sex Has a Meaning and Sex Differences Are Real
Evolutionary Psychological Science - Tập 2 - Trang 241-243 - 2016
Animals in Upright Postures Attract Attention in Humans
Evolutionary Psychological Science - Tập 6 - Trang 30-37 - 2019
Individual predators differ in the level of risk they represent to prey. Because
prey incur costs when responding to predators, prey can benefit by adjusting
their antipredator behavior based on the level of perceived risk. Prey can
potentially assess the level of risk by evaluating the posture of predators as
an index of predators’ motivational state. Like other prey species, humans might
evaluat...
National Mean IQ Estimates: Validity, Data Quality, and Recommendations
Evolutionary Psychological Science - Tập 9 - Trang 197-223 - 2022
Estimates of mean IQ scores for different nations have engendered controversy
since their first publication in 2002. While some researchers have used these
mean scores to identify relationships between the scores and other
national-level variables (e.g., economic and health variables) or test theories,
others have argued that the scores are without merit and that any study using
them is inherently...
Material Abundance Messages and Women’s Partner Trait Preferences: Effects of Exposure to Advertisements for Consumer Goods
Evolutionary Psychological Science - Tập 7 - Trang 165-173 - 2020
Cues in the environment, including the media environment, can shape the traits
that women find attractive or desirable in potential romantic and sexual
partners. In the present study, the possibility that advertisements for consumer
goods may shape such preferences was explored. In a controlled experiment
(n = 170), women were exposed to advertisements for everyday consumer goods,
luxury goods, or...
Eating Heavily: Men Eat More in the Company of Women
Evolutionary Psychological Science - Tập 2 - Trang 38-46 - 2015
Sexual selection has been commonly considered by evolutionary psychologists
interested in eating disorders among women; however, comparable attention has
not been paid to problematic eating by men. We present the results of a field
study through which we find that men eat more food when sharing a meal with
women than with men. Notably, men appear to eat larger quantities of both
unhealthy (pizza) ...
Something Scary Is Out There: Remembrances of Where the Threat Was Located by Preschool Children and Adults with Nighttime Fear
Evolutionary Psychological Science - Tập 7 - Trang 239-253 - 2021
Young children frequently report imaginary scary things in their bedrooms at
night. This study examined the remembrances of 140 preschool children and 404
adults selecting either above, side, or below locations for a scary thing
relative to their beds. The theoretical framework for this investigation posited
that sexual-size dimorphism in Australopithecus afarensis, the presumed human
ancestor in ...
The Bitter Pill: Cessation of Oral Contraceptives Enhances the Appeal of Alternative Mates
Evolutionary Psychological Science - Tập 5 - Trang 276-285 - 2019
Hormonal contraceptives change women’s natural mate preferences, leading them to
prefer nurturing but less genetically compatible men. Cessation of
contraceptives reverses these preferences, decreasing women’s attraction to
current partners. Two studies examined whether women who had used contraceptive
pills at relationship formation and stopped doing so were more vulnerable to
desire attractive a...
The Relation of Clade-Specific Biophilia to the Construct of Animality
Evolutionary Psychological Science - Tập 9 - Trang 317-327 - 2023
The main purpose of this study was to examine whether the nonhuman animal
affinities described by the proposed psychometric construct of Animality might
be distributed unequally across different kinds of animals. Thus, we explored
how respondent Animality scores correlated with clade-specific self-reports of
cognitive and emotional empathy toward specific animal categories. To do so, we
applied th...
In the Heat of the Short-Term Moment: Evidence that Heightened Sexual Arousal Increases Short-Term Mating Motivation Among Men
Evolutionary Psychological Science - Tập 9 - Trang 148-162 - 2022
Individual differences in men’s short-term mating interest are well studied,
both at state and trait levels. Yet, the role of sexual arousal as a source of
intra-individual variation has been neglected. This research represents the
first attempt to integrate sexual arousal into the human mate plasticity
literature. We argue that sexual arousal directly impacts the short-term mating
motivation amon...
Towards a Unified Account of Aberrant Salience in Psychosis: Proximate and Evolutionary Mechanisms
Evolutionary Psychological Science - - Trang 1-18 - 2024
The “Aberrant Salience Hypothesis” (ASH) is arguably the pre-eminent proximate,
theoretical model of psychosis in the current literature. As well as its
consilience with phenomenological accounts, since its initial proposal,
subsequent neuroscientific work has updated its empirical basis by demonstrating
a functionally distinct large-scale brain network known as the “salience
network” (SN), and cr...
