A growing body of evidence has linked individual differences in facial structure-in particular, the width-to-height ratio (FWHR)-to social behaviors, including aggression, cheating, and nonreciprocation trust. In research reported here, we extended this work by demonstrating that association between FWHR aggression is moderated subjective objective measures status. Study 1 (N = 237 college students), was positively correlated with aggressive behavior, but only among men reporting relatively...
According to worldview verification theory, inconsistencies between lived experiences and worldviews are psychologically threatening. These may be key determinants of stress processes that influence cardiovascular health disparities. This preliminary examination considers how experiencing injustice can affect perceived racism biological reactivity among African Americans. Guided by it was hypothesized responses receiving an unfair outcome would moderated fairness the accompanying decision...
Human voice pitch is highly sexually dimorphic and eminently quantifiable, making it an ideal phenotype for studying the influence of sexual selection. In both traditional industrial populations, lower in men predicts mating success, reproductive social status shapes perceptions, especially those related to physical formidability. Due practical ethical constraints however, scant evidence tests central question whether male other acoustic measures indicate actual fighting ability humans. To...
Objective: Clinical observations suggest that negative affects such as helplessness/hopelessness (HE/HO) may induce autonomic duration; were assessed for every move after reconstruction of the games. In all games compiled, 18 situation intense confidence/optimism and 20 observed. Results: Intense HE/HO associated with decreasing HF-HRV (Fisher exact test, p = .003), increasing "nervousness" (p .0005), "optimism" "calmness" .0005). Conclusions: Investigation championship chess game players an...
It is widely recognized that the nature and severity of responses to toxic exposure are age-dependent. Using active avoidance conditioning as behavioral paradigm, present study examined effect short-term methylmercury (MeHg) on two adult age classes, 1- 2-year-olds coincide with zebrafish in relatively peak vs. declining health conditions. In Experiment 1, 2-year-old were randomly divided into groups exposed no MeHg, 0.15% ethanol (EtOH), 0.01, 0.03, 0.1, or 0.3 μM MeHg (in ethanol) for 2...
Aim: Noninvasive assessments of C-reactive protein (CRP) in stress contexts have seldom been compared. This study evaluated CRP response to acute social as measured saliva and dried blood spot (DBS). Materials & methods: African–Americans (N = 118; mean age 32 years) participated a laboratory-based social-evaluative stressor task. Six samples taken before, during after were assayed for salivary CRP. DBS measurements alongside at the first last collection. Results: Salivary modestly...
Developmental Psychology is the branch of psychology that studies, not only human behavior, but how and why behavior changes over time. This essay seeks to review what extent has failed perceive through lens evolutionary theory in general, particular sexual selection as first described by Darwin later elaborated on many, including Robert Trivers Geoffrey Miller; asserts this failure resulted many wrong turns missed opportunities. In some cases, major developmental theorists (e.g., Freud,...
