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 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...
Abstract Several mammalian species scale their voice fundamental frequency ( F 0) and formant frequencies in competitive mating contexts, reducing vocal tract laryngeal allometry thereby exaggerating apparent body size. Although humans’ rare capacity to volitionally modulate these same is thought subserve articulated speech, the potential function of modulation human nonverbal communication remains largely unexplored. Here, voices 167 men women from Canada, Cuba, Poland were recorded a...
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 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...
Abstract Current theories on respiratory control postulate that the rhythm is generated by oscillatory networks in medulla: preBötzinger complex (preBötC) master oscillator responsible for generating inspiration, while parafacial group (pFRG) drives active expiration through recruitment of expiratory abdominal (ABD) muscle activity. Research addressing role pFRG ventilation and generation across sleep states limited. We recently reported occurrence ABD occurring despite induction paralysis...
The lateral parafacial area (pFL) is a crucial region involved in respiratory control, particularly generating active expiration through an expiratory oscillatory network. Active involves rhythmic abdominal (ABD) muscle contractions during late-expiration, increasing ventilation elevated demands. precise anatomical location of the oscillator within ventral medulla's rostro-caudal axis debated. While some studies point to caudal tip facial nucleus (VIIc) as oscillator's core, others suggest...

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...
