Beyond risk and protective factors: An adaptation-based approach to resilience
TL;DR: This perspective supports an alternative adaptation-based approach to resilience that converges on a central question: “What are the attention, learning, memory, problem-solving, and decision-making strategies that are enhanced through exposures to childhood adversity?”
Journal ArticleDOI
Cognition in harsh and unpredictable environments
TL;DR: This article showed that people in stressful environments have a stronger preference for immediate over delayed rewards, have children at a younger age and develop enhanced cognition for dealing with threat and rapidly changing conditions, compared with people from supportive environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
The reality and evolutionary significance of human psychological sex differences.
TL;DR: The evidence was positive for most features in most categories, suggesting evolutionary origins for a broad range of sex differences, and within‐sex variations are discussed as limitations to the emphasis on sex differences.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Relative State Model: Integrating Need-Based and Ability-Based Pathways to Risk-Taking
TL;DR: A conceptual model of decision-making under risk—the relative state model—is provided that integrates both pathways and explicates how situational and embodied factors influence the estimated costs and benefits of risk-taking in different contexts.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Hidden Talents Approach: Theoretical and Methodological Challenges
TL;DR: It is concluded that the hidden talents approach is promising, but there is much scope for refining ideas and testing assumptions and the goal to advance this research program with integrity despite the current incentives in science is discussed.

The measurement of selection on correlated characters
Russell Lande,Stevan J. Arnold +1 more
TL;DR: Measures of directional and stabilizing selection on each of a set of phenotypically correlated characters are derived, retrospective, based on observed changes in the multivariate distribution of characters within a generation, not on the evolutionary response to selection.

The evolution of parental care
TL;DR: This paper examined the evolution of variation in egg and neonate size, of viviparity and other forms of bearing, and of differences in the duration of incubation, gestation, and lactation.

World report on violence and health
TL;DR: Men and women everywhere have the right to live their lives and raise their children free from the fear of violence, and to help them enjoy that right by making it clearly understood that violence is preventable, and by working together to identify and address its underlying causes.
Book
The Psychology of Criminal Conduct
Demetra Andrews,James Bonta +1 more
TL;DR: For instance, the authors investigates the relationship between the beginning and maintenance of criminal activity and diverse risk predictors (singular and social, static and dynamic) in the development of criminal behaviour.

TL;DR: The first World Report on Violence and Health analyses different types of violence including child abuse and neglect, youth violence, intimate partner violence, sexual violence, elder abuse, self-directed violence, and collective violence.
