TL;DR: This work combines this large cross-cultural sample with agent-based models to compare eight hypothesized models of human mating markets and finds that this cross-culturally universal pattern of mate choice is most consistent with a Euclidean model of mate preference integration.

TL;DR: Hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) is an extension of linear regression analysis that allows analyzing variance in a dependent variable at multiple hierarchical levels and takes into account the error associated with sampling at each level of analysis.

TL;DR: Using a new 45-country sample (N = 14,399), this work attempted to replicate classic studies and test both the evolutionary and biosocial role perspectives, finding neither pathogen prevalence nor gender equality robustly predicted sex differences or preferences across countries.

TL;DR: This paper examined whether cultural values predict individuals' moral attitudes and showed that the answer depends on the moral issues studied using items from the Morally Debatable Behaviours Scale (MDBS) fielded in the World Value Survey (WVS), and found that moral issues can be differentiated cross-culturally into attitudes towards dishonest-illegal and personal-sexual issues.

TL;DR: The findings clarify the relationship between age and SWB by demonstrating that the paradox of well-being is conditional on the economic context, and implications for individual- and country-level strategies for successful aging are discussed.
