We used questionnaires to discover how self-rated dominance, identification with masculinity ideologies, aggression, and attitudes towards women, are related. Our analyses revealed that the two different gender role questionnaires we used (Bem’s Sex Role Inventory, Multicultural Masculine Ideology Scale) may focus on different aspects of masculinity, which was also reflected in their different relations to other variables – aggression, dominance, and sexism. We briefly review the main concepts related to gender roles, and discuss the results of the analyses within the frames of Social Role Theory.","PeriodicalId":91082,"journal":{"name":"Human ethology bulletin","volume":"32 1","pages":"5-13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68344820","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}

ESPN ranked the University of Michigan–Ohio State University football rivalry as the greatest North American sports rivalry. Toledo, Ohio is geographically closer to Ann Arbor, MI (UM), than to Columbus, OH (OSU) and conventional wisdom holds that team loyalty is divided among local residents. Previous observational research of thousands of individuals in Toledo indicated that no one simultaneously wore apparel from the two competing teams. Inspired by these observations, a second study examined reactions to displays of mixed loyalty vs. consistent loyalty. When a research confederate wore clothing featuring both UM and OSU, he elicited more attention and reactions than when wearing equivalent outfits featuring just one of the universities. The current study examines factors explaining individual differences in attention to displays of allegiance to rival groups, whether consistent or mixed. We made several predictions for explaining variation in reaction rates based on evolved coalitional psychology. We predicted that men, young adults in the typical undergraduate age range (18-25), and those wearing university merchandise themselves will have higher reaction rates to the confederate than women, individuals in other age groups, and individuals not wearing university merchandise respectively. These hypotheses were generally supported by our observations (n = 1292). Controlling for experimental condition, reaction rates were higher overall for men, young adults, and those wearing university merchandise themselves. The highest reaction rates were by young adult men wearing university merchandise, to the mixed condition.","PeriodicalId":91082,"journal":{"name":"Human ethology bulletin","volume":"32 1","pages":"17-28"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43730408","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}

Here we focus exclusively on mothers, and explore some of the advantages of cooperating with other mothers (as well as other individuals) versus competing with other mothers (and others). There has been noteworthy attention paid towards cooperative mothering behavior, but competitive mothering behavior has been relatively neglected. Therefore, our goal is to provide a review of the ways in which both types of behavior enhance a mother’s reproductive success, and ultimately, show that the most beneficial strategy is integrate both cooperative and competitive behavior.","PeriodicalId":91082,"journal":{"name":"Human ethology bulletin","volume":"32 1","pages":"6-16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42634748","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}

{"title":"Female Gaze Behaviour, Status and the Menstrual Cycle: An Exploratory Study","authors":"M. Sharp, Geordan E. Hamilton","doi":"10.22330/HEB/321/029-041","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.22330/HEB/321/029-041","url":null,"abstract":"Whilst not explaining all social behaviour and organisation, dominance is nevertheless an important dimension of human social interaction. It has been hypothesized that gaze behaviour reflects the dominance hierarchy of primate groups and several studies have demonstrated that cues associated with social status also influence human gaze. These studies overwhelmingly involve male participants and sex differences in coalition formation, status seeking, risk taking and dominance-related behaviour have all been explained by the fact that males needed to compete for mates while females supposedly did not. Indeed, until comparatively recently it was thought that dominance contests were of little consequence for females. However, there is increasing evidence to suggest that competitiveness is useful for females and there are attendant benefits conferred upon those with high status. Thus, it is important to understand these status-gaze relationships in women. Sixty heterosexual, caucasian female participants (mean age=22.1, SD=3.16) competed in a dyadic non-physical status encounter (woodblock game Jenga). Dyads were unknown to each other and matched by menstrual phase ( follicular/luteal) or contraceptive use. Winners were congratulated and received £5 to accentuate status disparity. In the two minutes following competition participants sat apart but in sight of each other. The investigator left the room and gaze behaviour was recorded by video camera. The length of time each participant spent looking at their opponent was related to competition outcome: winners (M=3.96, SD=1.72), losers (M=7.34, SD=4.32). There were main effects for outcome, F(1,54)=22.47, p<0.0001 and menstrual phase/contraceptive use F(2,54)=5.34, p=0.008. Follicular and Luteal phase did not differ from each other significantly. The interaction between outcome and menstrual phase/ contraceptive use was significant, F(2,54)=8.75, p<0.001, with contraceptive use reversing the findings of longer gaze time in the loss condition in normally cycling women. Our results support the hypothesis that female gaze behaviour is responsive to the outcome of status encounters.","PeriodicalId":91082,"journal":{"name":"Human ethology bulletin","volume":"32 1","pages":"29-41"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48747861","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}

Roberts, Faize Eryaman","doi":"10.22330/HEB/321/042-052","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.22330/HEB/321/042-052","url":null,"abstract":"The ability of infants to recognize their mother is an important factor in the development of mother-infant social relationships. Infants must be able to distinguish her from other individuals before they form strong maternal attachment, and learning individual characteristics of the child likely helps to cement the mother’s emotional bonding with the child. Existing evidence demonstrates that very young infants can discriminate their mother’s odour and that this facilitates the onset and duration of breastfeeding, but it is not known whether this ability is maintained after weaning. Here, we investigated recognition of mothers by children of toddler age (3 – 5 years), and maternal recognition of her child, through body odour. Nineteen mother-child pairs wore clean t-shirts for 2 consecutive nights, and both mothers and children were then tested for correct identification of their respective mother/ child’s odour from an odour line-up of 6 samples. We found that mothers were able to recognise their child’s odour at rates above chance, but toddlers were not. Neither breastfeeding duration nor hours spent together on an average day were associated with correct odour recognition by either mothers or children. However, higher perceived pleasantness of their child’s odour during testing was associated with higher identification success, suggesting a possible cue to correct identification in mothers. Mothers who correctly identified their child’s odour were also more likely to correctly identify the sex of odour donors. Our study contributes to the growing literature suggesting that odour may be important in maternal-child attachment.","PeriodicalId":91082,"journal":{"name":"Human ethology bulletin","volume":"32 1","pages":"42-52"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48798667","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}
