Abstract Although evolutionary psychology has been successful in explaining some species-typical and sexdifferentiated adaptations, a large question that has largely eluded the field is this: How can the field successfully explain personality and individual differences? This article highlights some promising theoretical directions for tackling this question. These include life-history theory, costly signaling theory, environmental variability in fitness optima, frequency-dependent selection, mutation load, and flexibly contingent shifts in strategy according to environmental conditions. Tackling the explanatory question also requires progress on three fronts: (a) reframing some personality traits as forms of strategic individual differences; (b) providing a nonarbitrary, evolutionary-based formulation of environments as distributions and salience profiles of adaptive problems; and (c) identifying which strategies thrive and which falter in these differing problem-defined environments.

Women or females prefer men who can provide them financial security and stability since good socio-economic status promises accessibility to education, health amenities, and many societal opportunities, which promote satisfactory living conditions. Such forms of security and accessibility are highly preferred by women since with affection and love they also prefer men who can provide their children with safety and security by putting food on the table and guaranteeing a secure future for their children in the long run. a. Age is not a primary variable or aspect according to evolutionary psychology that can be considered important during mate selection by women. c. Physical attractiveness is a crucial aspect considered by men when looking for a suitable mating partner. However, for women, this aspect is not significant since females prefer safety and security as their main criteria when choosing a partner. d. Sensitiveness and gentleness can be some crucial aspects that women tend to look for in men. However, according to evolutionary theorists more than emotional aspects, they tend to look for males who are capable of providing them with financial security.

Friday, September 22, 2017 3:14:44 PM EDT Which assumption is made by researchers using the twin study method?Which assumption is made by researchers using the twin‑study method? Dizygotic twins share an environment that is more similar than the environment shared by monozygotic twins.
What is the difference between monozygotic and dizygotic twins and how are twin studies important to psychology?Evolution of Twin Studies
As monozygotic (identical) twins develop from a single egg fertilized by a single sperm, which splits after the egg starts to develop, they are expected to share all of their genes, whereas dizygotic (fraternal) twins share only about 50% of them, which is the same as nontwin siblings.
Which of the following aspects of twins allows researchers to use the twin?Which of the following aspects of twins allows researchers to use the twin-study method to understand genetic similarities or differences? Monozygotic twins have identical genes. genetic and environmental influences are not confounded like they are when examining children raised by their biological parents.
