Does intuitive mindset influence belief in God? A registered replication of Shenhav, Rand and Greene (2012)
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(SOC Judgment & Decision Making, 2020)In 2012, two independent groups simultaneously demonstrated that intuitive mindset enhances belief in God. However, there is now some mixed evidence on both the effectiveness of manipulations used in these studies and the effect of mindset manipulation on belief in God. Thus, this proposal attempted to replicate one of those experiments (Shenhav, Rand & Greene, 2012) for the first time in a high-powered experiment using an under-represented population (Turkey). In line with the intuitive belief ...

Does Self-rated Attractiveness Predict Women's Preferences for Facial Masculinity? Data From an Arab Sample
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2021-03)Objectives Because more attractive women may be better able to attract and/or retain masculine mates, many researchers have proposed that women who consider themselves to be more physically attractive will show stronger preferences for men displaying masculine facial characteristics. Empirical evidence for this putative association between women's self-rated attractiveness and preference for facial masculinity has come almost entirely from studies of Western women. Thus, we investigated whether ...

Facial attractiveness and preference of sexual dimorphism: A comparison across five populations
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Cambridge University Press, 2021)Despite intensive research, evolutionary psychology has not yet reached a consensus regarding the association between sexual dimorphism and attractiveness. This study examines associations between perceived and morphological facial sexual dimorphism and perceived attractiveness in samples from five distant countries (Cameroon, Colombia, Czechia, Iran, and Turkey). We also examined possible moderating effects of skin lightness, averageness, age, body mass, and facial width. Our results suggest that ...

Facial Masculinity Increases Perceptions of Men's Age, But Not Perceptions of Their Health: Data From an Arab Sample
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(SPRINGERNATURE, 2021-06)Masculine characteristics in men's faces are often assumed to function as health cues. However, evidence for this assumption from empirical tests is mixed. For example, research on Western women's face perceptions found that masculinized versions of men's faces were perceived to be older, but not healthier, than feminized versions. Since research on this topic has focused on Western women's face perceptions, we investigated the effects of masculinizing face images on Arab women's perceptions of ...

How and why patterns of sexual dimorphism in human faces vary across the world
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(2021-03)Sexual selection, including mate choice and intrasexual competition, is responsible for the evolution of some of the most elaborated and sexually dimorphic traits in animals. Although there is sexual dimorphism in the shape of human faces, it is not clear whether this is similarly due to mate choice, or whether mate choice affects only part of the facial shape difference between men and women. Here we explore these questions by investigating patterns of both facial shape and facial preference ...
