In evolutionary psychology and behavioral ecology, human mating strategies are a set of behaviors used by individuals to select, attract, and retain mates. Mating strategies overlap with reproductive strategies, which encompass a broader set of behaviors involving the timing of reproduction and the trade-off between quantity and quality of ...
14 wrz 2017 · In both humans and nonhuman animals, mating strategies represent a set of evolutionary adaptations aimed at promoting individual fitness by means of reproduction with the best possible partners. Given this critical role, mating strategies influence numerous aspects of human life.
18 lis 2015 · In this chapter, evidence is reviewed regarding the reproductive strategies—and specialized mating psychologies—fundamental to humans. Cross-species comparisons and ethnological patterns observed across foraging cultures help to clarify our most basic human mating adaptations.
29 lis 2019 · A mating strategy can be defined as a set of behavioral and cognitive adaptations which drive reproductive efforts of individuals. The ultimate aim of mating strategies is to maximize reproductive success. These strategies also affect individual investment in mating and parenting (Buss and Schmitt 1993; Gangestad and Simpson 2000).
21 gru 2016 · A key theoretical premise of The Evolution of Desire is that humans have a menu of mating strategies, not just a single one, and that some of these strategies show important gender differences. Humans most obviously have long-term mating (sometimes called pair-bonding, committed mating, or marriage), although this turns out to be rare among ...
In this chapter, David Schmitt furnishes a broad and insightful overview of the foundations of human mating strategies. He considers the large menu of evolved human mating strategies and outlines the evolutionary processes of sexual selection by which they evolved.
5 wrz 2015 · Comparative features of social living, sexual dimorphism, and reproductive physiology across primate species reveal insights into the natural mating psychology. The extant evidence suggests humans evolved a pluralistic mating repertoire that differs in adaptive ways across sex and temporal context, personal characteristics such as mate value ...
