Altruism towards strangers in need: costly signaling in an industrial society (2010, unknown): “In light of evolutionary theory, men who have been selected to compete for resources can achieve a greater fitness return as compared to women through high cost–high return strategies (Geary, 1998; Mealey, 2000).”
Social competition and its consequences in female mammals (2013, background): “Instead, females commonly 1027 use social strategies to enhance their reproductive success, which may explain why 1028 females are commonly more responsive than males to social signals and 1029 relationships (Mealey 2000).”
Sociosexuality from Argentina to Zimbabwe: A 48-nation study of sex, culture, and strategies of human mating (2005, background): “From an evolutionary perspective, there may be several reasons why cultures have different mating tendencies (Frayser 1985; Low 2000; Marlowe 2003; Mealey 2000; Pasternak et al. 1997).”
Evidence of unconstrained directional selection for male tallness (2001, background): “In all stages of mating, women make the choices (Mealey 2000).”
Public charity offer as a proximate factor of evolved reputation-building strategy: an experimental analysis of a real-life situation (2007, unknown): “Third, evidence from evolutionary psychology, social psychology, experimental economics, and cultural anthropology suggests that women are more cooperative, empathic, and caring than men (Geary, 1998; Mealey, 2000).”
