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 =...
Cultural models of selfhood 2Markus and Kitayama's (1991) theory independent interdependent self-construals had a major influence on social, personality developmental psychology by highlighting the role culture in psychological processes.However, research has relied excessively contrasts between North American East Asian samples, commonly-used self-report measures independence interdependence frequently fail to show predicted cultural differences.We revisited conceptualization measurement...

Beliefs about personhood are understood to be a defining feature of individualism-collectivism (I-C), but they have been insufficiently explored, given the emphasis research on values and self-construals. We propose construct contextualism, referring beliefs importance context in understanding people, as facet cultural collectivism. A brief measure was developed refined across 19 nations (Study 1: N = 5,241), showing good psychometric properties for cross-cultural use correlating well at...
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 While a great deal is known about the individual difference factors associated with conspiracy beliefs, much less country‐level that shape people's willingness to believe theories. In current article we discuss possibility theories might be shaped by perception (and reality) of poor economic performance at national level. To test this notion, surveyed 6723 participants from 36 countries. line predictions, propensity was negatively perceptions and future vitality. Furthermore,...
Variations in acquiescence and extremity pose substantial threats to the validity of cross-cultural research that relies on survey methods. Individual cultural correlates response styles when using 2 contrasting types mode were investigated, drawing data from 55 groups across 33 nations. Using 7 dimensions self-other relatedness have often been confounded within broader distinction between independence interdependence, our analysis yields more specific understandings both individual-...
Self-continuity – the sense that one's past, present, and future are meaningfully connected is considered a defining feature of personal identity. However, bases self-continuity may depend on cultural beliefs about personhood. In multilevel analyses data from 7287 adults 55 groups in 33 nations, we tested new tripartite theoretical model self-continuity. As expected, perceptions stability, narrative, associative links to past each contributed predicting extent which people derived different...
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.
