Self-assessment biases and motivations
People who are more likely to die care less about the future
Deconstructing “dominance” to refine leadership research
Modeling mate choice in a small-scale community
Calibration and fitness-linked correlates of personality in Conambo, Ecuador
Sex Differences in Fearful Personality Traits Are Mediated by Physical Strength
Across cultures, women reliably exhibit higher levels of Neuroticism than men. Recent work shows that this sex difference, particularly in Neuroticism’s anxiety facet, is partly mediated by the sex difference in physical strength. We build on this finding by testing pre-registered predictions of mediation by physical strength of the sex differences in HEXACO Emotionality and its Anxiety and Fearfulness facets (HEXACO stands for the factors of hon…
Status-impact assessment
Status hierarchies are ubiquitous across cultures and have been over deep time. Position in hierarchies shows important links with fitness outcomes. Consequently, humans should possess psychological adaptations for navigating the adaptive challenges posed by living in hierarchically organised groups. One hypothesised adaptation functions to assess, track, and store the status impacts of different acts, characteristics and events in order to guide…
Insights into the accuracy of social scientists' forecasts of societal change
Toward Integration of the Niche Diversity Hypothesis With Other Explanations for Personality Covariation
The hypothesis of a human-universal personality structure is undermined by cross-cultural studies in small-scale societies. To explain cross-population differences in patterns of behavioral covariance, we proposed the niche diversity hypothesis, which holds that the degree of behavioral covariation within a population is inversely related to the number and diversity of niches within its socioecology. This hypothesis is formalized as a computation…
Functional coordination of personality strategies with physical strength and attractiveness
The Structure of the Mini-K and K-SF-42
Pride and shame
The emotion–valuation constellation
Assortative mating and the evolution of desirability covariation
Niche diversity can explain cross-cultural differences in personality structure
Formidability assessment mechanisms
Cue-based estimates of reproductive value explain women's body attractiveness
What Explains Personality Covariation? A Test of the Socioecological Complexity Hypothesis
Correlations among distinct behaviors are foundational to personality science, but the field remains far from a consensus regarding the causes of such covariation. We advance a novel explanation for personality covariation, which views trait covariance as being shaped within a particular socioecology. We hypothesize that the degree of personality covariation observed within a society will be inversely related to the society’s socioecological comp…
The role of physical formidability in human social status allocation
Why are physically formidable men willingly allocated higher social status by others in cooperative groups? Ancestrally, physically formidable males would have been differentially equipped to generate benefits for groups by providing leadership services of within-group enforcement (e.g., implementing punishment of free riders) and between-group representation (e.g., negotiating with other coalitions). Therefore, we hypothesize that adaptations fo…
Reactive heritability of extraversion
Hormonal and morphological predictors of women’s body attractiveness
Condition-dependent calibration of men’s uncommitted mating orientation
At the interface of social cognition and psychometrics
Kind toward whom? Mate preferences for personality traits are target specific
