The Associations That Sociosexual Orientation and Personality Traits Have with Men’s Preferences for Different Genres of Pornography
Ejaculate Adjustment in Response to Sperm Competition Risk in Humans
Evaluating Accessibility and Special Resources in Saudi Arabia’s Higher Education for Students With Disabilities Through Self-Reporting
In many countries around the world, students with disabilities (SWDs) have the legal right to adequate education, comparable to their non-disabled peers. What are higher learning institutions in these countries doing to ensure this is the case for SWDs? This study sought to determine the extent to which universities in Saudi Arabia provide sufficient accessibility and special resources to SWDs. Self-report survey responses were secured online fro…
Dark personality traits and anti-natalist beliefs
The literature regarding the Dark Triad of personality (i.e., narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism) has expanded rapidly during recent years with researchers evaluating the connections that these personality traits have with a variety of phenomena including philosophical beliefs and moral decision-making. The goal of the present study was to replicate and extend recent research concerning the associations that the Dark Triad had with ant…

Personality and erectile dysfunction in heterosexual romantic relationships
Teachers’ Perceptions of Bullying in Saudi Arabian Primary Public Schools
Bullying among primary school students is a serious problem that often has multiple negative effects including poor academic performance and mental health problems. The current study used qualitative methodology to determine the role of communication in creating awareness and preventing bullying in a school setting through stakeholder intervention and bullying-prevention programs. If teachers are aware of bullying, then they are likely to take ad…
Interpersonal Communication Style and Personal and Professional Growth among Saudi Arabian Employees
This study explored the association of interpersonal communication style (ICS) with personal and professional growth among Saudi Arabians in the context of the work environment. It was hypothesized that different ICSs are differently associated with personal and professional growth. The participants were 143 Saudi Arabian adults, including members of both genders, who were employed, with varying incomes, and who had different education levels. Th…
Men’s Psychopathy and Mating Effort in Intimate Relationships
Erectile Dysfunction, Suspicious Jealousy, and Partner-Directed Behaviors in Heterosexual Romantic Couples
Facial cues to physical strength increase attractiveness but decrease aggressiveness assessments in male Maasai of Northern Tanzania
Male physical formidability may reflect capacities to provision and protect, resource holding potential, and social status. Handgrip strength (HGS) is a robust measure of overall muscular strength and function that correlates positively with ratings of male facial attractiveness and dominance. Here, we examine strength, attractiveness, and aggressiveness assessments as a function of facial cues to HGS in a sample of male Maasai of Northern Tanzan…
Saudi Arabian Students’ Beliefs about and Barriers to Online Education during the Covid-19 Pandemic
At a time when pandemics such as the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) spread rapidly, the deployment of online education is essential. However, to successfully leverage online education in such times, it is important to investigate learners' motivations and beliefs about online education and associated barriers as well as the role of religious and social values. To investigate these motivations and beliefs, this study included semi-structured intervi…
The Importance of Providing Play and Learning Materials for Children with Physical Disabilities in Saudi Arabia
The purposes of this exploratory, qualitative research are to (a) examine the parental role in providing materials to facilitate learning and play for children with physical disabilities, and (b) identify the difficulties expressed by parents that affect the support provided to their children with physical disabilities. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 21 Saudi Arabian parents of children with physical disabilities to identify the par…
Sexual Communal Strength Partially Mediates the Associations between Mate Retention Behaviors and Relationship Satisfaction
Mate retention behaviors are associated with several aspects of romantic relationships, but different categories of mate retention behaviors have divergent associations with relationship satisfaction. The present studies examined whether sexual communal strength - which refers to the motivation to meet the sexual needs of one's partner - mediated the associations that benefit-provisioning and cost-inflicting mate retention behaviors had with rela…
Predicting Mate Poaching Experiences from Personality Traits Using a Dyadic Analysis
Mate poaching is "behavior intended to attract someone who is already in a romantic relationship." We investigated actor and partner effects of the five-factor personality traits and the dark triad traits on several mate poaching experiences. We used actor-partner interdependence modeling with data secured from both members of 187 heterosexual married, cohabiting and dating couples from Croatia. In a round-robin design, each participant rated the…
Erectile Dysfunction and Sexual Coercion
The (bidirectional) associations between romantic attachment orientations and mate retention behavior in male-female romantic couples
The Sage Handbook of Domestic Violence
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a worldwide issue that affects people regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. Definitions of IPV vary across countries and legal systems. The definition used by the criminal justice system in the UK is ‘... any incident of controlling, coercive or threatening behaviour, violence or abuse between those aged 16 or over who are or have been intimate partners or family members, regardless of their gende…
Saudi parents’ perspectives on the use of touch screen tablets for children with learning disabilities
The current research is an exploratory, qualitative study of Saudi parents’ perspectives on the use of touch screen tablets (i.e. iPads) to enhance learning outcomes for children with learning disabilities (LDs), ages 6–8 years. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 14 Saudi parents whose children with LDs used iPads for learning purposes. The results suggest that Saudi parents perceive this technology positively. However, the results also…
Erectile Dysfunction and Partner-Directed Behaviors in Romantic Relationships
Erectile dysfunction (ED) has been shown to have a considerable impact on romantic relationships. The purpose of the present research was to examine whether the associations that ED had with men's mate retention behaviors, partner-directed insults, partner-directed violence, and injuries inflicted on the partner were mediated by suspicious jealousy but not reactive jealousy. These associations were examined using self-reports of men (Study 1) and…
Mate Retention Behavior and Ejaculate Quality in Humans
Evolution and functions of human dance
Fear the unseen
Belief in supernatural agents is ubiquitous, as evidenced by its prevalence in religion, folklore, and cultural practices. It is theorized that, given recurrent ancestral risks of predation and frequent contact with other dangerous agents, mechanisms for agency detection may have evolved and play an important role in facilitating belief in supernatural agents. Thus, agency detection and belief in supernatural agents may be correlated in modern po…

Violence as Coercive Control
A Half Century of Mate Preferences
The qualities people believe are important in selecting a marriage partner afford one domain for assessing human values. We examined the cultural evolution of these values over more than half a century. Building on existing data on mate preferences collected in 1939 (N= 628), 1956 (N= 120), 1967 (N= 566), and 1977 (N= 316), we collected data using the same instrument in 1984/1985 (N= 1,496) and in 1996 (N= 607) at geographically diverse locations…
From vigilance to violence
Although much research has explored the adaptive problems of mate selection and mate attraction, little research has investigated the adaptive problem of mate retention. We tested several evolutionary psychological hypotheses about the determinants of mate retention in 214 married people. We assessed the usage of 19 mate retention tactics ranging from vigilance to violence. Key hypothesized findings include the following: Men's, but not women's, …
Patterns and Universals of Adult Romantic Attachment Across 62 Cultural Regions
As part of the International Sexuality Description Project, a total of 17,804 participants from 62 cultural regions completedthe RelationshipQuestionnaire(RQ), a self-reportmeasure of adult romanticattachment. Correlational analyses within each culture suggested that the Model of Self and the Model of Other scales of the RQ were psychometrically valid within most cultures. Contrary to expectations, the Model of Self and Model of Other dimensions …
Susceptibility to Infidelity in the First Year of Marriage
Grandparental investment as a function of relational uncertainty and emotional closeness with parents
Facial asymmetry as an indicator of psychological, emotional, and physiological distress
Fluctuating asymmetry (FA) is deviation from bilateral symmetry in morphological traits with asymmetry values that are normally distributed with a mean of 0. FA is produced by genetic or environmental perturbations of developmental design and may play a role in human sexual selection. K. Grammer and R. Thornhill (1994) found that facial FA negatively covaries with observer ratings of attractiveness, dominance, sexiness, and health. Using self-rep…
Human Sex Differences in Sexual Psychology and Behavior
Because age and sex constitute the only distinct anatomical and physiological morphs (types) of the human species, universal sex differences ought to be expected. According to Darwinian theory, the most numerous sex differences are likely to be found in the domains of sexuality and reproduction. We first briefly review the basic model of the adaptationist program of modern Darwinian psychology. We then present evidence suggesting substantial sex …

Reasoning about dead agents reveals possible adaptive trends
Sex ratio and mate preferences
Sex ratio is the number of men per 100 reproductive‐age women within a specified mating pool. We generated and tested two hypotheses about the cross‐cultural relationships between sex ratio and mate preferences using preference ratings of 18 characteristics provided by 9809 participants and corresponding sex ratio data secured from an international organization. The Classical Sex Ratio Mate Preference Shifts Hypothesis predicts that in imbalanced…
Sexual Coercion in Intimate Relationships
Anticipation of Marital Dissolution as a Consequence of Spousal Infidelity
This study examined five sources of spousal and relationship costs that might facilitate heightened anticipations of seeking divorce as a consequence of spousal infidelity. Three separate data sources were employed. Fist, 214 participants reported their satisfaction with the marriage and their anticipations of seeking divorce as a consequence of spousal infidelity. Second, participants provided information on their spouse's personality and behavi…

Mate guarding and frequent in-pair copulation in humans
Female coital orgasm and male attractiveness
Are young women the special targets of rape‐murder
Working from an evolutionary psychological perspective, M. Wilson, M. Daly, and J. Scheib [1997. Feminism and Evolutionary Biology. New York: Chapman and Hull. p 431–465] hypothesized and found that reproductive‐aged females incur excess risk of rape‐murder (being raped and murdered) relative to nonreproductive‐aged females and that this excess risk cannot be attributed solely to the greater association of young women with violent, young men. The…
An Attempted Replication of the Relationships between Birth Order and Personality
Romantic attachment and mate retention behavior
Previous research indicates that the romantic attachment dimensions of anxiety and avoidance are associated with performance frequency of Benefit-Provisioning and Cost-Inflicting domains of mate retention. The current research aimed to replicate previous findings in a non-Western sample (Iran, Study 1) and to extend this research by investigating the mediating role of perceived risk of partner infidelity (Study 2). Studies 1 and 2 tested the hypo…

Personality and Mate Preferences
Although personality characteristics figure prominently in what people want in a mate, little is known about precisely which personality characteristics are most important, whether men and women differ in their personality preferences, whether individual women or men differ in what they want, and whether individuals actually get what they want. To explore these issues, two parallel studies were conducted, one using a sample of dating couples ( N …

Adaptations, exaptations, and spandrels
Adaptations, exaptations, and spandrels
Adaptation and natural selection are central concepts in the emerging science of evolutionary psychology. Natural selection is the only known causal process capable of producing complex functional organic mechanisms. These adaptations, along with their incidental by-products and a residue of noise, comprise all forms of life. Recently, S. J. Gould (1991) proposed that exaptations and spandrels may be more important than adaptations for evolutiona…
Facial Attractiveness and Physical Health
Jealousy and the nature of beliefs about infidelity
The different adaptive problems faced by men and women over evolutionary history led evolutionary psychologists to hypothesize and discover sex differences in jealousy as a function of infidelity type. An alternative hypothesis proposes that beliefs about the conditional probabilities of sexual and emotional infidelity account for these sex differences. Four studies tested these hypotheses. Study 1 tested the hypotheses in an American sample (N =…

Clearly, such connections haveserved psychology very well, helping us, forexample, to understand and treat broadspectrum of mental diseases, as well as re-ducing the stigma previously associated withthese diseases. Although the contributionsthat the physical sciences can make to thesocial sciences should be investigated, Busset al. went step beyond science and present-ed philosophically committed view of theworld, promoting an agenda tha…
Distress about mating rivals
This research tested the evolutionary psychological hypothesis that men and women would be most distressed about threats from rivals who surpass them on sex‐linked components of mate value. Six predictions were tested in samples from three cultures, the United States ( N = 208), the Netherlands ( N = 349), and Korea ( N = 174). Five predictions were supported in all three cultures. Korean, Dutch, and American men, more than corresponding women, r…
Reproductive-age women are overrepresented among perpetrators of husband killing
When a woman kills her husband, it is almost always an unplanned action of self-defense against a battering husband or a last-ditch attempt to survive a batterer's tyranny. Younger, reproductive-age women are battered and killed by husbands at higher rates than are older, postreproductive-age women. Because husband killing occurs in the context of self-defense or as a last-ditch effort to survive, reproductive-age women should kill their husbands…

The desire for sexual variety as a key to understanding basic human mating strategies
Different authors have proposed competing evolutionary theories of human mating. Some argue that both sexes are designed to pursue a singular long‐term mating strategy. Others contend that both sexes are designed to function as essentially multiple maters. Sexual Strategies Theory (SST; D.M. Buss & D.P. Schmitt, 1993), in contrast, proposes that men and women have evolved short‐term and long‐term mating strategies that are pursued differently by …
Poaching, promiscuity, and deceit
If humans faced recurrently over evolutionary history the adaptive problem of competition with same‐sex friends for mates, they may have evolved psychological mechanisms designed to prevent and combat mating rivalry with same‐sex friends. Four studies were conducted to test hypotheses about the design of these mechanisms. In Studies 1 and 2 ( N = 406 and N = 342, respectively) we found that, as predicted, people experience more upset in response …

Cohabitation, marriage, and murder
Using a national‐level US homicide database that includes more than 400,000 homicides committed from 1976‐1994, I calculated rates of uxoricide (the murder of a woman by her romantic partner) by type of relationship (cohabiting or marital), ages of the partners, and age difference between partners. Women in cohabiting relationships are about nine times more likely to be killed by their partner than are women in marital relationships. Within marit…
