Abstract

Past research implicates adaptations in women to assess men's willingness to invest in offspring ( La Cerra, 1995 ). In two new studies, women's evaluations of an opposite-sex target as a long-term partner and short-term sex partner were negatively impacted by viewing that target ignore a baby in distress; this effect occurred for men in Study 1 only. Men's short-term sexual attraction to a female target was not affected by context. In Study 2, women responded similarly to a man vacuuming and to a man interacting with a happy baby. Neither sociosexual orientation nor sex-role beliefs moderated participants' sensitivity to targets' behavior. Women more than men appear to display a general sensitivity to an opposite-sex target's good character.

Abstract

Sperm competition occurs when the sperm of two or more males simultaneously occupy the reproductive tract of a female and compete to fertilize an egg. We used a questionnaire to investigate psychological responses to the risk of sperm competition for 194 men in committed, sexual relationships in the United States and in Germany. As predicted, a man who spends a greater (relative to a man who spends a lesser) proportion of time apart from his partner since the couple's last copulation reported (a) that his partner is more attractive, (b) that other men find his partner more attractive, (c) greater interest in copulating with his partner, and (d) that his partner is more sexually interested in him. All effects were independent of total time since the couple's last copulation and the man's relationship satisfaction. Discussion addresses two failed predictions and directions for future work.

107. Similar From the Start: Assortment in Young Adult Dating Couples and Its Link to Relationship Stability Over Time.

Abstract

Past research on married couples has documented positive assortment on cognitive abilities, attractiveness and physical features, attitudes and values, and, to a lesser degree, personality. In the current study, we proposed that if partners mate assortatively rather than converge over time, then assortative mating coefficients for dating couples should be similar in magnitude to those found for married couples. Second, as per filter models of relationship development, we hypothesized that similarity in dating partners' political and religious attitudes (as opposed to personality) would be associated with staying together over time. With a sample of 51 heterosexual dating couples, we found a pattern of assortative mating coefficients that mirrored the pattern found among married couples. As expected, couples still together at the 11-month follow-up had more similar attitudes at study onset compared to those who had broken up. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

108. Research Article Meeting the Educational Needs of Special Populations Advanced Placement's Role in Developing Exceptional Human Capital.

Abstract

We evaluated the Advanced Placement (AP) program from the point of view of intellectually precocious youth and their subsequent educational-vocational outcomes, analyzing normative and idiographic longitudinal data collected across 30 years from 3,937 participants. Most took AP courses in high school, and those who did frequently nominated an AP course as their favorite. Students who took AP courses, compared with their intellectual peers who did not, appeared more satisfied with the intellectual caliber of their high school experience and, ultimately, achieved more. Overall, this special population placed a premium on intellectual challenge in high school and found the lack of such challenge distressing. These findings can inform contemporary educational policy debates regarding the AP program; they also have general implications for designing and evaluating educational interventions for students with special needs.
