Letter Of Purpose Of The Feminist Evolutionary Psychology Society, T. Joel Wade
Faculty Journal Articles
It has been almost five years since the formation of the Feminist Evolutionary Psychology Society (FEPS), which was created with the hopes of drawing attention to issues that influence women’s role in evolution. In those years, FEPS has changed into a more structured society with clear aims. In this letter, we review the rationale for creating FEPS, as well as how we structured FEPS to be an effective organization. The majority of the letter pertains to four distinct goals of FEPS that we will continue to address in the future. These goals are to investigate the active role of women …

Faculty Journal Articles
The present research was implemented in order to determine whether or not the Big-5 personality dimensions relate to the perceived effectiveness of love acts discovered in prior research. An internet based questionnaire was utilized and college undergraduates and as well as non-college students were included in the sample. The Big-5 dimensions of Agreeableness, Openness to Experience, and Emotional Stability were expected to be related to the perceived effectiveness of the Love acts.

Friendship As A Relationship Infiltration Tactic During Human Mate Poaching., Justin Mogilski, T. Joel Wade
Friendship As A Relationship Infiltration Tactic During Human Mate Poaching., Justin Mogilski, T. Joel Wade
Faculty Journal Articles
Previous research has characterized human mate poaching as a prevalent alternative mating strategy that entails risks and costs typically not present during general romantic courtship and attraction. This study is the first to experimentally investigate friendship between a poacher and his/her target as a risk mitigation tactic. Participants (N = 382) read a vignette that differed by whether the poacher was male/female and whether the poacher and poached were friends/acquaintances. Participants assessed the likelihood of the poacher being successful and incurring costs. They also rated the poacher and poached on several personality and mate characteristics. Results revealed that friendship increased …

Individual Differences In First And Fourth Year College Women’S Short Term Mating Strategy Preferences And Perceptions, T. Joel Wade, Maggie Cohen
Individual Differences In First And Fourth Year College Women’S Short Term Mating Strategy Preferences And Perceptions, T. Joel Wade, Maggie Cohen
Faculty Journal Articles
Using survey methodology, a cross sectional study was undertaken to ascertain whether first and fourth year college women have different perceptions and behavior associated with short term mating preferences. It was hypothesized that after incurring significant negative or costly experiences associated with hooking up, fourth year women would prefer men who had qualities associated with a desired long term partner as opposed to characteristics associated with short term mating partners. The results were partially consistent with the hypothesis. Reported preferences in a desired partner and perspective on hooking up differ between first and fourth year groups. No difference was found …
Sex Differences In Hookup Behavior: A Replication And Examination Of Parent-Child Relationship Quality, T. Joel Wade
Sex Differences In Hookup Behavior: A Replication And Examination Of Parent-Child Relationship Quality, T. Joel Wade
Faculty Journal Articles
In the current research, we assessed the impact of parent-child relationships on attitudes toward, and engagement in, hookup behaviors using a sample of 407 college students. Based on prior research, it was hypothesized that heterosexual participants, especially women, who do not perceive themselves as having a strong, close, positive relationship with their opposite-sex parent would be more likely to engage in or attempt to engage in casual sexual behavior (hookups). Also, men were expected to be more satisfied with, and more in agreement with, hookup behavior than women. The results were partially consistent with the hypotheses. Men were more satisfied …

Are There Sex Differences In Reaction To Different Types Of Sexual Infidelity?, T. Joel Wade, Ryan Kelley, Dominique Church
Faculty Journal Articles
Evolutionary theory based research shows that women and men can differ in their responses to sexual and emotional infidelity. However, research has not examined the question of whether men and women react similarly or differently to a partner’s engagement in different types of sexual infidelity. The present research sought to answer this question. Based on the aforementioned prior research, and short term mating desires, sex differences in reactions to different types of sexual infidelity were not expected. Both women and men were expected to report higher levels of upset when a partner engaged in sexual intercourse rather than when a …
