Multisegment Model for Body Surface Area and Body Volume Estimation
Correlated perceptions and underlying hormonal factors of bodily, facial, and vocal attractiveness, health, and physical dominance
Previous research has shown that attractiveness perceptions of male body parts and modalities correlate with each other. These findings support the one ornament hypothesis , according to which individual body parts and modalities have a common underlying latent cause and vicariously function as an indicator of genetic quality during mate choice. In contrast, the multiple messages hypothesis suggests that different body parts and modalities signal…
Updating evidence on facial metrics: A Bayesian perspective on sexual dimorphism in facial width-to-height ratio and bizygomatic width
Cross-cultural evidence that intergroup conflict heightens preferences for dominant leaders: A 25-country study
Across societies and across history, seemingly dominant, authoritarian leaders have emerged frequently, often rising to power based on widespread popular support. One prominent theory holds that evolved psychological mechanisms of followership regulate citizens' leadership preferences such that dominant individuals are intuitively attributed leadership qualities when followers face intergroup conflicts like war. A key hypothesis based on this the…
Behavioural Endocrinology in the Social Sciences
Hormones are the endocrine system’s messengers and an important coordinating mechanism of the body’s growth, development, and functioning, with often simultaneous effects throughout the body and brain. Echoing calls for more interdisciplinary research bridging the gap between endocrinology and social sciences, we review evidence for hormones influencing human psychology (behaviour, cognition, and sociality), with a focus on health, sexuality, and…
Do voices carry valid information about a speaker’s personality
No evidence for an association between facial fluctuating asymmetry and vocal attractiveness in men or women
An integrative study of facultative personality calibration
D anthropometric assessment and perception of male body morphology in relation to physical strength
OBJECTIVES: The assessment of men's physical strength is an important part of human social perception, for which observers rely on different kinds of cues. However, besides previous studies being limited in considerable ways, as yet there is no comprehensive investigation of a range of somatometric measures in relation to both objectively measured and observer-perceived physical strength using valid stimuli. METHODS: We examined observer-percepti…
Effects of male testosterone and its interaction with cortisol on self- and observer-rated personality states in a competitive mating context
Fertile women evaluate male bodies as more attractive, regardless of masculinity
The relative importance of intra- and intersexual selection on human male sexually dimorphic traits
The association of three indicators of developmental instability with mating success in humans
Sizes of Permanent Campsite Communities Reflect Constraints on Natural Human Communities
Both small-scale human societies and personal social networks have a characteristic hierarchical structure with successively inclusive layers of 15, 50, 150, 500, and 1,500 individuals. It has been suggested that these values represent a set of natural social attractors, or "sweet spots," in organizational terms. We exploited the new phenomenon of permanent (i.e., residential) campsites to ask whether these values are present in the size distribu…
