Abstract Humans express a wide array of ideal mate preferences. Around the world, people desire romantic partners who are intelligent, healthy, kind, physically attractive, wealthy, and more. In order for these preferences to guide choice actual partners, human mating psychology must possess means integrate information across many preference dimensions into summaries overall value their potential mates. Here we explore computational design this integration process using large sample n =...
Considerable research has examined human mate preferences across cultures, finding universal sex differences in for attractiveness and resources as well sources of systematic cultural variation. Two competing perspectives-an evolutionary psychological perspective a biosocial role perspective-offer alternative explanations these findings. However, the original data on which each relies are decades old, literature is fraught with conflicting methods, analyses, results, conclusions. Using new...
Interpersonal touch behavior differs across cultures, yet no study to date has systematically tested for cultural variation in affective touch, nor examined the factors that might account this variability. Here, over 14,000 individuals from 45 countries were asked whether they embraced, stroked, kissed, or hugged their partner, friends, and youngest child during week preceding study. We then a range of hypothesized individual-level (sex, age, parasitic history, conservatism, religiosity,...
Abstract Love is a phenomenon that occurs across the world and affects many aspects of human life, including choice of, process bonding with, romantic partner. Thus, developing reliable valid measure love experiences crucial. One most popular tools to quantify Sternberg’s 45-item Triangular Scale (TLS-45), which measures three components: intimacy, passion, commitment. However, our literature review reveals studies (64%) use broad variety shortened versions TLS-45. Here, aiming achieve...
Abstract Recent cross-cultural and neuro-hormonal investigations have suggested that love is a near universal phenomenon has biological background. Therefore, the remaining important question not whether exists worldwide but which cultural, social, or environmental factors influence experiences expressions of love. In present study, we explored countries’ modernization indexes are related to measured by three subscales (passion, intimacy, commitment) Triangular Love Scale. Analyzing data...
The Triangular Theory of Love (measured with Sternberg's Scale – STLS) is a prominent theoretical concept in empirical research on love. To expand the culturally homogeneous body previous psychometric regarding STLS, we conducted large-scale cross-cultural study use this scale. In total, examined more than 11,000 respondents, but as result applied exclusion criteria, final analyses were based sample 7332 participants from 25 countries (from all inhabited continents). We tested configural...
People across the world and throughout history have gone to great lengths enhance their physical appearance. Evolutionary psychologists ethologists largely attempted explain this phenomenon via mating preferences strategies. Here, we test one of most popular evolutionary hypotheses for beauty-enhancing behaviors, drawn from market parasite stress perspectives, in a large cross-cultural sample. We also other influential non-mutually exclusive theoretical frameworks, biosocial role theory...
A wide range of literature connects sex ratio and mating behaviours in non-human animals. However, research examining human is limited scope. Prior work has examined the relationship between desire for short-term, uncommitted as well outcomes such marriage divorce rates. Less empirical attention been directed towards mate preferences, despite importance preferences literature. To address this gap, we ratio's to variation attractiveness, resources, kindness, intelligence health a long-term...
Abstract Age-related impairments are observed in a variety of cognitive constructs, including significant deteriorations working memory (WM) performance. To measure the WM, commonly used task aging is n -back. Despite its widespread use, however, psychometric properties have not been sufficiently studied. Previous research has typically examined construct validity by correlating -back measures with other WM tasks and primarily assessed reliability through test-retest, occasionally split-half...

ABSTRACT The peroxide value is a useful indicator of the extent oxidation lipids, fats, and oils. food lipids undesirable due to off-flavors, toxins, loss fat-soluble vitamins. Some fixed oils like walnut, hazelnut, wheat germ, sesame, nettle seed, grape St. John's oil are used in food, cosmetics, medicine. In addition, analysis content samples very analytical task because high levels have been threat human health. this investigation, determination values was performed after opening bottles...
Because variables may be correlated in the social and behavioral sciences, multicollinearity might problematic. This study investigates effect of collinearity manipulated within between levels a two-level confirmatory factor analysis by Monte Carlo simulation. Furthermore, influence size intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) estimation method; maximum likelihood with robust chi-squares standard errors Bayesian estimation, on convergence rate are investigated. The other interest were...
Abstract Touch is the primary way people communicate intimacy in romantic relationships, and affectionate touch behaviors such as stroking, hugging kissing are universally observed partnerships all over world. Here, we explored association of love two studies comprising 7880 participants. In first study, used a cross-cultural survey conducted 37 countries to test whether was associated with behaviors. second using more fine-tuned behavior scale, tested frequency related partnerships. As...
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the introduction of unprecedented safety measures, one them being physical distancing recommendations. Here, we assessed whether long-term effects on two important aspects, namely interpersonal distance preferences and touch behaviors. We analyzed nearly 14,000 individual cases from large, cross-cultural surveys – first conducted 2 years prior second during a relatively stable period decreased infection rate in May-June 2021. Preferred distances increased by...
Aims: The aim of the study was to make a theoretical contribution by investigating social cognitive factors and personality traits related risky driver behaviour in Turkish sample. tested three models Structural Equation Modelling: (1) model using risk perception attitudes towards traffic safety predict behaviour, (2) which used normlessness sensation-seeking such (3) both behaviour. Methods: A questionnaire survey with validated measurement instruments conducted sample drivers (n = 213)....
Magnitude processing is of great interest to researchers because it requires integration quantity related information in memory regardless whether the focus numerical or non-numerical magnitudes. The previous work has suggested an interplay between pre-existing semantic about number-space relationship processes encoding and recall. Investigation compatibility physical stimulus size - spatial position false recognition may provide valuable cognitive representation Therefore, we applied a...
Love is a worldwide known phenomenon that affects many aspects of human life, including considering romantic partner with whom to bond. Thus, developing reliable and valid measure love experiences crucial. One the most popular tools test levels Sternberg's 45-item Triangular Scale (TLS-45), which measures three components: Intimacy, Passion, Commitment. However, our literature review reveals majority studies (64%) use broad variety shortened versions TLS-45. To achieve scientific consensus...
Previous studies have found a negative relationship between creativity and conservatism. However, as these were mostly conducted on samples of homogeneous nationality, the generalizability effect across different cultures is unknown. We addressed this gap by conducting study in 28 countries. Based notion that attitudes can be shaped both environmental ecological factors, we hypothesized parasite stress also affect thus, its potential effects should controlled for. The results multilevel...
