Relationship Valuation Sensitivity for Family and Friends: A Test of Welfare Tradeoff Ratio Variables and General Social Discounting
Decisions about how much we help others have been quantified recently as general social discounting functions or as individual‐specific welfare tradeoff ratios (WTRs). The WTR model integrates kinship (based on kin‐selected altruism), which should be relatively inflexible as a contributor to overall WTR value, whereas more general social discounting functions minimize kinship as a distinct factor. Using monetary forced‐choice measures of social d…
Cognitive reflection, visuospatial ability, and other measures as predictors of Bayesian reasoning
Many individual difference variables predict Bayesian reasoning performance, including cognitive reflection (thoughtful engagement with a problem rather than intuitive responding). The cognitive reflection test (CRT), though, is interdependent with numerical literacy. Two non-mathematics versions of this test (CRTverbal) are integrated and evaluated here, concurrent with other individual difference measures, as predictors of Bayesian reasoning pe…

Two Methods to Measure the Level of Trust of Americans and Japanese: A Cross-Cultural Study
Interpersonal trust of Japanese and Americans was investigated using two methods: a General Trust Questionnaire and a scenario judgments task, in which participants were asked to rate how strongly they trust a target person in a series of vignettes. Participants were grouped into two conditions, with the target person being either an in-group member or an out-group member. The purposes of this study were to investigate whether Americans have a hi…
Emotional regulation of fertility decision making: What is the nature and structure of “baby fever”
Baby fever-a visceral physical and emotional desire to have a baby-is well known in popular culture, but has not been empirically studied in psychology. Different theoretical perspectives suggest that desire for a baby is either superfluous to biological sex drives and maternal instincts, a sociocultural phenomenon unrelated to biological or evolutionary forces, or an evolved adpatation for regulating birth timing, proceptive behavior, and life h…

Assessing sex differences and similarities in mate preferences: Above and beyond demand characteristics
Prior experiments documenting gender differences in mate preferences have relied on directive questions (e.g., "How important is physical attractiveness?"), which are susceptible to demand characteristics. To assess this potential confound, this study assessed mate preferences using indirect, openended questions, with anonymous computer administration and designated (same- or opposite-sex) targets. The frequency with which participants noted trai…

Sex differences in responses to relationship threats in England and Romania
Prior research on sex differences in relationship jealousy and on reactions to third-party rivals has been conducted primarily within the U.S., Central Europe, and Asia. As these effects vary in magnitude across cultures, it is important to investigate both how these patterns differ across a wider range of cultures and the key mediating cultural variables. One hundred and fourteen English and 202 Romanian participants provided their reactions to …

Which statistical formats facilitate what decisions? The perception and influence of different statistical information formats
Research suggesting both a superiority of frequencies over single‐event probabilities and of smaller reference classes over very large reference classes have utilized tasks that vary in computational complexity. The present research sought to simply and directly evaluate if—apart from simplifying statistical inference tasks—frequencies and small reference classes are clearer than other formats. After eliminating possible computational confounds, …
Helping in 36 U.S. cities
A series of experiments examined the relationship of urbanism to helping. Six types of hclping behaviors were studied in a cross -sample of 36 small. medium. and large cities across the United States. The relationship of helping to a series of statistics reflecting the demographic. social. environ mental. and economic characteristics of these communities was then examined. The strongest and most consistent predictor of overall helping was populat…
