Mating markets and bargaining hands: Mate preferences for attractiveness and resources in two national U.S. studies (2016, background): “The pair-bonding context of human mating in which both men and women contribute resources and effort into romantic relationships once formed is likely one factor that limits the size of gender differences in long-term partner preferences (Fisher, 1992; Gray & Garcia, 2013; Hrdy, 2009).”
Patterns of parental care in vertebrates (2012, background): “These relatives operate as a ‘helper at the nest’ significantly increasing reproductive success of their breeding relatives (Hrdy 2009).”
ATTACHMENT THEORY AND RESEARCH: OVERVIEW WITH SUGGESTED APPLICATIONS TO CHILD CUSTODY (2011, background): “…researchers are asking new questions (see Main, 1999b), and exploring new domains including the cultural (e.g. Sagi-Schwartz et al., 2003; van IJzendoorn & Sagi-Schwartz, 2008), the anthropological (e.g., Hrdy, 1999, 2009) and the genetic (Polan & Hofer, 2008; Vaughn, Bost, & van IJzendoorn, 2008).”
Sex Differences in Attachment Emerge in Middle Childhood: An Evolutionary Hypothesis (2010, background): “Gender differentiation in reproductive strategies certainly exists (e.g., Hrdy, 2009).”
Manipulation of Infant-Like Traits Affects Perceived Cuteness of Infant, Adult and Cat Faces (2012, background): “Potentially, effects of facial appearance on cuteness across type and species are tied to human interest in pet species (Archer & Monton 2011) and may even impact on interspecific adoption in other related species whereby an animal takes care of an infant of another species (see e.g. Hrdy 2009).”
Mentalizing in the Development and Treatment of Attachment Trauma (2013, background): “Contra the traditional argument that the human capacity for tool making drove the evolution of the neocortex, the more compelling view is that the sheer complexity of social cognition—the need to cooperate and compete—was the main evolutionary arms race that propelled brain development (Bogdan, 1997”
The Ape That Thought It Was a Peacock: Does Evolutionary Psychology Exaggerate Human Sex Differences? (2013, background): “2000; Hrdy, 2009).”
The Adaptive Calibration Model of stress responsivity (2010, positive): “We predict that adolescent females should exhibit increased stress responsivity to cues of reduced social support, a key determinant of successful reproduction (Hrdy, 2009; Wasser, 1994; Wasser and Barash, 1983; see also Troisi, 2001).”
Exploring compassion: a meta-analysis of the association between self-compassion and psychopathology. (2012, background): “In this model compassion has its roots in the capacity for mammals to co-operate and engage in kinship caring, and the formation of attachment bonds (Bowlby, 1973; Gilbert, 2005; Hrdy, 2009).”
Beyond the nuclear family: an evolutionary perspective on parenting (2016, background): “In recent years, the hypothesis that such intensive investment is only possible through cooperative ‘parenting’ has become established in the evolutionary behavioural sciences: help from allomothers, who may be fathers, grandmothers, siblings and/or other individuals, is required to rear children [2”
On the relationship between the “default mode network” and the “social brain” (2012, positive): “The “cooperative breeding hypothesis” proposed by Hrdy and colleagues (Burkart et al., 2009; Hrdy, 2009) suggests that it was the case, but that other apes and our common ancestor lacked the motivational preconditions that were required to developed full “human-style” mentalizing.”
The origins and nature of compassion focused therapy. (2014, background): “Hrdy (2009) has raised the possibility that where humans gained an evolutionary advantage was with the process of extended caring, whereby aunts and grandparents came to play a role in the child’s care and protection.”
Natural pedagogy as evolutionary adaptation (2011, positive): “This openness of children coupled with adults' willingness to teach non-kin children is explained by the fact that we are a cooperative breeding species [67].”
Feminism and the Evolution of Sex Differences and Similarities (2011, background): “More scientifically progressive evolutionary models integrate nature and nurture by seeking ultimate explanations for female and male behavior in both genetic and cultural evolutionary processes (e.g., Hrdy 2009).”
