Dark side of mate choice
Open AccessKatharina P da Silva, Bruno H Amaral et al.ARTICLEEvolution and Human Behavior2026
While individuals typically prefer prosocial traits in romantic partners, some are attracted to antisocial personalities and even criminal behavior. This study investigates two mechanisms behind this preference: homogamy (preference for self-similar traits) and the desirability by-product hypothesis (attraction to antisocial traits and behavior when paired with desirable characteristics). Participants ( N = 400; 193 women) reported their own Dark…
How Do People Maintain Consensual Non-Monogamy? An International Development and Validation of the Multiple Relationships Maintenance Scale
Open AccessJustin Mogilski, Geoffrey F Miller et al.ARTICLEArchives of Sexual Behavior2026Referencias: 138
Maintaining multiple intimate relationships entails some risks and complications beyond exclusive pair bonding (i.e., monogamy). Consensual non-monogamy (CNM; e.g., polyamory, swinging, or open relationships) allegedly reduces these risks and complications, but no one has tried to comprehensively document typical CNM risk management practices, nor analyzed the relationship outcomes of those who use these practices. We developed the Multiple Relat…

Investigating object orientation effects across 18 languages
Open AccessSau-Chin Chen, Erin M Buchanan et al.ARTICLECurrent Psychology2025
Mental simulation theories of language comprehension propose that people automatically create mental representations of objects mentioned in sentences. Mental representation is often measured with the sentence-picture verification task, wherein participants first read a sentence that implies the object property (i.e., shape and orientation). Participants then respond to an image of an object by indicating whether it was an object from the sentenc…

Relationship Status Rather than Sociosexuality or Sexual Orientation Predicts Male Sexual Functioning
Open AccessMaria Luíza R S de Souza, Adna J Silva et al.ARTICLEArchives of Sexual Behavior2025
Male sexual functioning is a prerequisite for conception and consequently for reproduction and is thus a crucial mechanism from an evolutionary and social perspective. Previous studies reported better sexual functioning in coupled compared to single individuals. However, it is not clear whether sexual functioning increases or decreases with a short-term casual sexual strategy, which is another possibility, along with a long-term strategy. Further…

Validation of the Short Version (TLS-15) of the Triangular Love Scale (TLS-45) across 37 Languages
Open AccessMarta Kowal, P Sorokowski et al.ARTICLEArchives of Sexual Behavior2024
Love is a phenomenon that occurs across the world and affects many aspects of human life, including the choice of, and process of bonding with, a romantic partner. Thus, developing a reliable and valid measure of love experiences is crucial. One of the most popular tools to quantify love is Sternberg’s 45-item Triangular Love Scale (TLS-45), which measures three love components: intimacy, passion, and commitment. However, our literature review re…
Strategies for becoming a more desirable mate
Open AccessM Apostolou, Mark Sullman et al.ARTICLEPersonal Relationships2024
The current research aimed to study the strategies that people employ in order to become more desirable as mates in different cultural settings. More specifically, using a closed‐ended questionnaire on a sample of 7181 participants from 14 different countries, we identified 10 different strategies that people employ to become more appealing as mates. Participants indicated that they had more frequently used the “Enhance looks,” followed by the “S…

Examining the Fraternal Birth Order Effect and Sexual Orientation
Open AccessJakub Fořt, Benjamin Kunc et al.ARTICLEArchives of Sexual Behavior2024Citada por: 3Referencias: 49
The development of human sexual orientation remains a complex and multifaceted subject. It is often studied but its origins continue to elude us. In this preregistered study, our primary objective was to demonstrate the fraternal birth order effect (FBOE), which assumes a higher prevalence of older brothers in gay men than in their straight counterparts and which has also been recently recorded in lesbian women. Our second aim was to explore any …

Individual Differences in How Desirable People Think They Are as a Mate
Open AccessZsófia Csajbók, Zuzana Štěrbová et al.ARTICLEArchives of Sexual Behavior2023Citada por: 1Referencias: 78
Mate value is an important concept in mate choice research although its operationalization and understanding are limited. Here, we reviewed and evaluated previously established conceptual and methodological approaches measuring mate value and presented original research using individual differences in how people view themselves as a face-valid proxy for mate value in long- and short-term contexts. In data from 41 nations ( N = 3895, M age = 24.71…

Open AccessIlona Croy, Carina Heller et al.ARTICLECross-Cultural Research2023Citada por: 1Referencias: 48
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the introduction of unprecedented safety measures, one of them being physical distancing recommendations. Here, we assessed whether the pandemic has led to long-term effects on two important physical distancing aspects, namely interpersonal distance preferences and interpersonal touch behaviors. We analyzed nearly 14,000 individual cases from two large, cross-cultural surveys – the first conducted 2 years prior to…

Predictors of enhancing human physical attractiveness
Open AccessMarta Kowal, P Sorokowski et al.ARTICLEEvolution and Human Behavior2022
People across the world and throughout history have gone to great lengths to enhance their physical appearance. Evolutionary psychologists and ethologists have largely attempted to explain this phenomenon via mating preferences and strategies. Here, we test one of the most popular evolutionary hypotheses for beauty-enhancing behaviors, drawn from mating market and parasite stress perspectives, in a large cross-cultural sample. We also test hypoth…

To which world regions does the valence-dominance model of social perception apply
Open AccessBartlett C Jones, Lisa Debruine et al.ARTICLENature Human Behaviour2021Citada por: 4Referencias: 48
Over the past 10 years, Oosterhof and Todorov’s valence–dominance model has emerged as the most prominent account of how people evaluate faces on social dimensions. In this model, two dimensions (valence and dominance) underpin social judgements of faces. Because this model has primarily been developed and tested in Western regions, it is unclear whether these findings apply to other regions. We addressed this question by replicating Oosterhof an…
