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.
29 lis 2019 · There are two main theories of human mating strategies. The first is sexual strategies theory (Buss and Schmitt 1993, 2016). It works mainly with intersexual differences which result from the asymmetry of parental investment.
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.
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 · This chapter reviews cross-species and cross-cultural evidence regarding the mating strategies and specialized mating psychologies that may be fundamental to humans.
Evolutionary behavioral scientists have amassed considerable evidence that human mating psychology displays adaptive design, varying in functionally predictable ways across sexes, ages, and socioecologies.
