Abstract:

In this thesis, I aimed to explore vocal attractiveness from an evolutionary perspective: how listener's preferences for vocal qualities of potential partners could increase mating success and reproductive success. Chapters 1-4 outline the background to the thesis, reviews acoustics, sexual selection theory, and human mate-choice. In chapter 5, I correlated attributions made to voices to the acoustic properties of the voices. In men's voices, pitch negatively predicted vocal attractiveness. Attributions of masculinity, size, age, health and vocal attractiveness were all positively correlated.

Abstract:

Here I have investigated the extent to which the physical attractiveness of women was associated with their sexual strategy selection and the extent to which physical and subjective measures of physical attractiveness should be regarded as separate constructs. I have then considered the manner in which an individual's physical attractiveness (viewed through facial photographs only) influenced men's perceptions of these women as potential mates and women's perceptions of other females as potential rivals. Finally, the role of non physical factors (birth order and parental investment) was invest

Abstract:

This research included two sets of studies examining the relative sexual attractiveness of individuals showing several distinct emotion expressions. In the first set of studies, we examined the extent to which men and women find members of the opposite sex displaying expressions of happiness, pride, and shame, compared with a neutral control, sexually attractive. In the second set of studies, we probed into the mechanisms underlying a somewhat surprising finding from the first set of studies, that male displays of shame are particularly attractive to North American women.

In order to determine the maximum efficiency of investment solutions, introduced the concept of investment attractiveness of the company.

Investigation of different points of view on its interpretation revealed that in the current understanding is no uniform approach to the essence of this economic category.

Abstract:

While our understanding of what makes a face attractive has been greatly furthered in recent decades, the stimuli used in much of the foregoing research (static images with neutral expressions) bear little resemblance to the faces with which we nonnally interact. In our social interactions, we frequently evaluate faces that move and are expressive, and thus, it is important to evaluate whether motion and expression influence ratings of attractiveness; this was the central aim of the experiments in this dissertation. Using static and dynamic stimuli with neutral or positive expression, the effe

The purpose of the current study was to explore whether personality dispositions can influence perceived physical appearance. Past research demonstrates that gendered and non-gendered characteristics lead to differential preferences for potential romantic interests among males and females (e.g., Cash & Smith, 1982). These previous studies have not, however, measured direct influence on pulchritude.

Abstract:

The idea that a not-so-attractive person, is perceived as increasingly attractive the more one gets to know them, is a commonly reported experience, which is often attributed to familiarity.

However, this explanation cannot account for why a person may be perceived as less attractive as one gets to know them. The first aim of the present research was to investigate whether liking for the target is the critical mediating factor in the relationship between knowing a person's non-physical characteristics, and apprai

Evolutionary theories of attractiveness have been very successful at explaining what physical traits are attractive in the human face and why we should be attracted to them. However, the ecological validity of much of the research is limited because of the static nature of the stimuli used and the lack of consideration of the context in which attractiveness ratings or mating decisions are made.
