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 =...
Human spatial behavior has been the focus of hundreds previous research studies. However, conclusions and generalizability studies on interpersonal distance preferences were limited by some important methodological sampling issues. The objective present study was to compare preferred distances across world overcome problems observed in We an extensive analysis over a large data set ( N = 8,943 participants from 42 countries). attempted relate social, personal, intimate each country...

Significance This set of experiments shows that in 15 traditional small-scale societies there is an extraordinarily close correspondence between ( i ) the intensity shame felt if one exhibited specific acts or traits and ii magnitude devaluation expressed response to those by local audiences, even foreign audiences. Three important widely acknowledged sources cultural variation communities—geographic proximity, linguistic similarity, religious similarity—all failed account for strength...
Abstract Norm enforcement may be important for resolving conflicts and promoting cooperation. However, little is known about how preferred responses to norm violations vary across cultures domains. In a preregistered study of 57 countries (using convenience samples 22,863 students non-students), we measured perceptions the appropriateness various violation cooperative atypical social behaviors. Our findings highlight both cultural universals variation. We find universal negative relation...
Abstract The strength of sexual selection on secondary traits varies depending prevailing economic and ecological conditions. In humans, cross-cultural evidence suggests women’s preferences for men’s testosterone dependent masculine facial are stronger under conditions where health is compromised, male mortality rates higher development higher. Here we use a sample 4483 exclusively heterosexual women from 34 countries employ mixed effects modelling to test how social, variables predict...
Both attractiveness judgements and mate preferences vary considerably cross-culturally. We investigated whether men's preference for femininity in women's faces varies between 28 countries with diverse health conditions by analysing responses of 1972 heterosexual participants. Although men all preferred feminized over masculinized female faces, we found substantial differences the magnitude preferences. Using an average each country, facial correlated positively nation, which explained 50.4%...

To incline choice, system must compute for a potential action an anticipated intensity tracks magnitude approval or deference generate among local audiences. Data from industrial mass societies support this expectation. However, it presently not known whether those data reflect cultural evolutionary processes panhuman adaptation. Experiments conducted...
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,...

Specifically, this question for cultural tightness (the degree to which generally have strong norms), specific (e.g. stealing, hand washing), about enforcement, using survey data from 30,431 respondents in 43 countries recorded before the early stages following COVID-19. Using variation disease intensity, shed light on mechanisms predicting changes norm...
Objective: Theories about how couples help each other to cope with stress, such as the systemic transactional model of dyadic coping, suggest that cultural context in which live influences their coping behavior affects relationship satisfaction. In contrast theoretical assumptions, a recent meta-analysis provides evidence neither culture, nor gender, association between and satisfaction, at least based on samples living North America West Europe. Thus, it is an open questions whether...

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...
