Journal ArticleDOI
Sex differences in impulsivity: A meta-analysis
TL;DR: The results indicate a stronger sex difference in motivational rather than effortful or executive forms of behavior control, which support evolutionary and biological theories of risk taking predicated on sex differences in punishment sensitivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The results support the hypothesis that hominin reliance on stone tool-making generated selection for teaching and language and imply that teaching or proto-language may have been pre-requisites for the appearance of Acheulean technology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sex differences in sensation-seeking: a meta-analysis
TL;DR: The results support the view that men and women differ in their propensity to report sensation-seeking characteristics, while behavioural manifestations of sensation- seeking vary over time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Catharine P. Cross,Anne Campbell +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that a more complete understanding of women's aggression requires acknowledging that women's relative restraint with regard to aggression is itself an adaptation; researching in more depth the fear-reducing effects of oxytocin and how these might operate in intimate partnerships; and considering more fully how cultural and biological factors might interact.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perceiving the facial correlates of sociosexuality: Further evidence
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors seek to assess whether accurate zero-acquaintance judgements are based on an awareness of the general tendency towards risky behaviour rather than a specific judgement of sociosexuality.
