A longitudinal survey was conducted in the Netherlands in four periods, including May 2020 (<em>N</em> = 1003), February 2021 (<em>N</em> = 719), October 2021(<em>N</em> = 554), and June 2022 (<em>N</em> = 530). Results revealed that people reported greater explicit concerns about disease in earlier periods of the pandemic, when COVID-19 was more prevalent in internet searches and caused more deaths. However, comfort with microbe-sharing interpersonal contact was no lower early in the pandemic than later in the pandemic. Across the pandemic, people were more comfortable with microbe-sharing interpersonal contact with higher-valued targets. These findings cast doubt on the possibility that behavioral immune system mechanisms are sensitive to abstract, non-sensory indicators of pathogen threat, such as those characterizing a novel respiratory virus pandemic.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55159,"journal":{"name":"Evolution and Human Behavior","volume":"46 5","pages":"Article 106710"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144203480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While it is well established that similarity guides affiliative judgments, it remains unclear which types of similarity provide a meaningful foundation for effective social partnerships and thus signal higher association value. The current study aimed to investigate (1) how children weigh the importance of shared social category and shared preferences as cues to potential social partnerships, and (2) whether the weight that children place on shared preferences depends on their rarity. We assessed third-party friendship inferences in 106 children (ages 4 to 12) in Japan by having them predict friendships between characters based on their gender and preferences. Children privileged shared preferences over shared gender, predicting that a character would be friends with an other-gender character who shared their preference than a same-gender character who did not. Further, this tendency to prioritize shared preferences was slightly stronger when the preferences were rare rather than common. When multiple types of similarity cues are available, it may be adaptive to select social partners based on unique similarities which signal that the individual offers irreplaceable benefits that are not easily supplied by others.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55159,"journal":{"name":"Evolution and Human Behavior","volume":"46 4","pages":"Article 106708"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144205008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Children demonstrate a remarkable willingness to faithfully copy rituals, however, limited studies have examined whether this extends to situations involving material costs. This study builds on this literature by examining how children respond to matching ritual versus ordinary actions when imitation involves varying material costs. A total of 130 children aged 4 to 7 were shown two distinct methods to acquire stickers at a local science museum: one involving causally irrelevant ritualistic actions and the other, instrumentally functional actions. Both methods resulted in giving up the opportunity to win more stickers. Results showed that children prioritised copying rituals over functional actions, even at a material cost. However, while children faithfully replicated relevant action components, they reproduced both irrelevant ritual and functional actions at lower rates. We conclude that while children are strongly inclined to learn culturally important rituals, they are ultimately strategic imitators.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55159,"journal":{"name":"Evolution and Human Behavior","volume":"46 4","pages":"Article 106706"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144123990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explored how Colombian women's preferences for masculinized male faces are influenced by relationship context and resource availability, as well as their individual experiences of intimate partner violence (IPV). Using a forced-choice paradigm with eye-tracking, we assessed visual attention and face-choice in 293 cisgender heterosexual Colombian women recruited through social media adverts. Participants were assigned to either a high or low resource availability condition and selected preferred partners for short- and long-term relationships. Self-reported IPV experiences were also collected. Results revealed a strong preference for masculine faces in both relationship contexts, with higher preference in long-term scenarios and under low resource availability. However, higher frequencies of physical IPV predicted a lower preference for masculinity, particularly in long-term and high-resource contexts. These exploratory findings suggest that while Colombian women generally favor masculine traits, socio-contextual factors, such as resource availability and IPV experiences, significantly modulate these preferences. The study highlights the complex interplay between individual, evolutionary, and socio-ecological factors in shaping mate preferences, suggesting that masculinity is valued depending on relationship goals, resource conditions, and individual experiences like IPV.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55159,"journal":{"name":"Evolution and Human Behavior","volume":"46 4","pages":"Article 106707"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144223386","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
