We present an evolutionary psychological framework for understanding sexual harassment perceptions and use that perspective to examine the effects of age, sex, status, and power on perceptions of hostile‐environment harassment. In Study 1, we examined the effects of observer age, sex, and behavioral severity on harassment perceptions. Age had a significant effect, with older women viewing sexually‐toned behaviors as more harassing than younger women. Observer sex also had a significant effect, with females perceiving sexually‐toned behaviors — primarily the severe behaviors — as more harassing. Behavioral severity had a strong and significant effect on perceptions of both sexes. In Study 2, we examined how initiator status and power affected harassment perceptions. As expected, initiator power had a strong main ...","PeriodicalId":280659,"journal":{"name":"Psychology, Evolution & Gender","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128664360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Palmer","doi":"10.1080/14616661.2002.10383129","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14616661.2002.10383129","url":null,"abstract":"For the last quarter of a century, attempts to prevent rape have been guided by a widespread social-science explanation that holds that rape’s causation has little, if anything, to do with sexual desire. Instead, it holds that rape is motivated by men’s attempt to dominate and control women. It also contends that rape occurs only when males are taught (by their culture) to rape. In A Natural History of Rape: Biological Bases of Sexual Coercion (MIT Press, 2000), we scientifically criticize this social-constructionist view of rape. We argue that, although a given rapist may have numerous motivations for committing a rape, social constructionists have not seriously and honestly considered the vast evidence showing that rapists are sexually motivated. Although we agree that culture (that is, social learning, or learning resulting from experience with other members of the same species) plays a significant role in causing rape, we challenge the notion that rape occurs only when males are taught by their culture to rape. The ethnographic record of anthropology indicates that rape occurs in all known cultures. It also occurs in a wide variety of other species in which there is certainly no cultural encouragement of such behavior. We emphasize in our book that the best way to obtain a better understanding of the role of culture in human rape is to approach the subject from the only generally accepted scientific explanation of the behavior of living things: evolution by natural selection. We then show that rape is definitely caused by men’s evolved sexual psychology, and we discuss why this knowledge may be important to society’s efforts to reduce rape.","PeriodicalId":280659,"journal":{"name":"Psychology, Evolution & Gender","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128419975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These include the difference between natural and sexual selection, the unit of selection, genetic drift, different forms of systematic selection, the meaning of the term optimality, the working definition of an adaptation and the role of modularity. Gannon encourages consideration of the role of experience in contributing to the unique phenotype of every individual. The ways in which evolutionary psychologists have addressed this issue are discussed.","PeriodicalId":280659,"journal":{"name":"Psychology, Evolution & Gender","volume":"2022 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133160162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The relative weightings of biological relatedness and cultural conformity are interpreted within theoretical models of parenthood, and the need for cognitive consistency. Forty-two women attending infertility clinics for treatment to overcome childlessness were given a retrospective questionnaire to determine what the effects of the infertility diagnosis were. The importance of a genetic link was assessed in relation to choices made on treatment options to overcome infertility. Half the sample was devastated by their inability to have a child, and nearly two-thirds could not foresee a future without a family. Preparedness to disclose the mode of starting a family through adoption, IVF and surrogacy was prevalent, although fewer individuals would be willing to disclose egg and particularly sperm donation to the child, famil...","PeriodicalId":280659,"journal":{"name":"Psychology, Evolution & Gender","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117072385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, most of these have used highly selected samples, leading to the possibility that the results obtained are due to volunteer biases. The data analysed here consist of anonymous responses to a questionnaire on sexual behaviour and attitudes obtained from a large community-based sample of Australian male twins aged 18-52. Significant heritabilities were observed for a range of psychological and behavioural measures (orientation of present sexual feelings and fantasies, ever having been sexually attracted to a man, attitude to homosexual sex, number of male and female sexual partners), with approximately 42 to 60 per cent of observed variance estimated to be due to genetic influences in these variables.
