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...
Although the view that women's olfactory abilities outperform men's is taken for granted, some studies involving large samples suggested male and female are actually similar. To address this discrepancy, we conducted a meta-analysis of existing on olfaction, targeting possible sex differences. The analyzed sample comprised n = 8 848 (5 065 women 3 783 men) threshold (as measured with Sniffin Sticks Test; SST), 067 (4 496 571 discrimination (SST), 13 670 (7 501 6 169 identification total 7...
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...
The neural plasticity of the olfactory system offers possibilities treatment in terms stimulation sense smell, and different studies have suggested effectiveness smell training, i.e., daily exposition to certain odors. To obtain reliable precise estimates overall benefit on function, we meta-analyzed effects training reported 13 previous studies. We analyzed across three abilities, identification, discrimination threshold for odor detection. found a significant, positive effect all with...
The currently presented large dataset (n = 1,422) consists of results that have been assembled over the last 8 years at science fairs using 16-item odor identification part "Sniffin' Sticks". In this context, focus was on olfactory function in children; addition before testing, we asked participants to rate their abilities and patency nasal airways. We reinvestigated some simple questions, e.g., differences relation age, sex, self-ratings patency. Three major evolved: first, consistent with...

Pathogen threat can translate into a willingness to distance oneself from others on psychological level. Building this notion, we predicted that the ongoing coronavirus pandemic affect attitudes toward foreign nationalities. We explored intergroup consequences of current epidemiological situation in two studies involving total 652 participants. In correlational Study 1, showed positive relationship between media exposure United Kingdom (UK) and Poland, prejudice four 2 negative Italians...
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 Despite the critical role of culture in understanding adolescent self and identity, there is a lack cross‐culturally validated measures self‐construal. The present study evaluated cross‐national measurement invariance Aspects Identity Questionnaire‐IV (AIQ‐IV), assessing four dimensions self‐construal: personal, relational, public, collective. sample included 16,795 adolescents aged 14–19 years from 30 countries across continents. four‐factor structure AIQ‐IV obtained using...
People are able to assess some personality traits of others based on videotaped behaviour, short interaction or a photograph. In our study, we investigated the relationship between body odour and Big Five dimensions dominance. Sixty samples were assessed by 20 raters each. The main finding presented study is that for few traits, correlation self–assessed donors judgments their was above chance level. correlations strongest extraversion (.36), neuroticism (.34) dominance (.29). Further...
At first glance, color preferences might seem to be the most subjective and context-dependent aspects of cognition. Yet they are not. The present study compares women men from an industrialized a remote, nonindustrialized culture. In particular, we investigated in observers Poland Yali Papua, respectively. Not surprisingly, found that clearly differed between two communities also sexes. However, despite pronounced cultural differences, way which each other was almost same both cultures....
Olfactory sensitivity varies between individuals. However, data regarding cross-cultural and inter-group differences are scarce. We compared the thresholds of odor detection traditional society Tsimane' (native Amazonians Bolivian rainforest; n = 151) people living in Dresden (Germany; 286) using "Sniffin' Sticks" threshold subtest. detected n-butanol at significantly lower concentrations than German subjects. The distribution was very specific, with 25% obtaining better results olfactory...
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...
The study of voice perception in congenitally blind individuals allows researchers rare insight into how a lifetime visual deprivation affects the development perception. Previous studies have suggested that adults outperform their sighted counterparts low-level auditory tasks testing spatial localization and pitch discrimination, as well verbal speech processing; however, persons generally show no advantage nonverbal recognition or discrimination tasks. present is first to examine whether...
Drawing upon the Parasite Model of Democratization across two preregistered experiments conducted in USA and Poland (total N = 1237), we examined psychological political consequences recent COVID-19 pandemic.By manipulating saliency COVID-19, found that activating thinking about coronavirus may elevate Americans' Poles' anxiety indirectly promote their social conservatism all way to support for more conservative presidential candidates.The pattern obtained was consistent both countries, it...
