Partner traits of women in arranged and self-choice marriages
Survey results have shown that the traits women seek in a partner are different from the traits parents seek in a son-in-law. These differences have been attributed to parent–offspring conflict, where parents prefer mates for their offspring who provide benefits to the entire family group, but adult women prefer traits in a potential partner that indicate heritable fitness (e.g. creativity, exciting personality). We compare the characteristics of…
Maternal investment in arranged and self-choice marriages
The Association of Sex Ratio on Suicide Rates in United States Counties
Researchers have long puzzled over suicidal behavior. In this paper, we posit that when people are unable to attract mates given unfavorable sex ratios, suicide rates increase. Sex ratio, the proportion of males in a population, is linked to a variety of behaviors, including marriage stability, violence, depression, and infidelity. We test whether suicide rates are associated with county-level sex ratios utilizing data from 1999 to 2018, controll…
Behavioral Ecology of the Family
Researchers across the social sciences have long been interested in families. How people make decisions such as who to marry, when to have a baby, how big or small a family to have, or whether to stay with a partner or stray are questions that continue to interest economists, sociologists, demographers, and anthropologists. Human families vary across the globe; different cultures have different marriage practices, different ideas about who raises…

Demographic Transition
The demographic transition is the change from a high‐mortality, high‐fertility population to one with low mortality and low fertility, which tends to accompany industrialization. Evolutionary anthropologists are particularly interested in studying the demographic transition because low fertility levels, as experienced around the world today, appear inconsistent with the expectation of fitness maximization and researchers seek to understand the fa…
Marital Dissolution and Child Educational Outcomes in San Borja, Bolivia
Does grandparental help mediate the relationship between kin presence and fertility
Previous research suggests that kin availability may be correlated with reproductive outcomes, but it is not clear that a causal relationship underlies these findings. Further, there is substantial variation in how kin availability is measured
Fertility Theory
Grandparental help in Indonesia is directed preferentially towards needier descendants
A synthetic biosocial model of fertility transition
This article presents a biosocial model of fertility decline, which integrates ecological‐economic and informational‐cultural hypotheses of fertility transition in a unified theoretical framework. The model is then applied to empirical data collected among 500 women from San Borja, Bolivia, a population undergoing fertility transition. Using a combination of event history analysis, multiple regression, and structural equation modeling, we examine…
Father Absence and Reproduction-Related Outcomes in Malaysia, a Transitional Fertility Population
Father absence is consistently associated with children's reproductive outcomes in industrialized countries. It has been suggested that father absence acts as a cue to particular environmental conditions that influence life history strategies. Much less is known, however, about the effects of father absence on such outcomes in lower-income countries. Using data from the 1988 Malaysian Family Life Survey (n = 567), we tested the effect of father a…
