Testing an Adaptationist Theory of Trait Covariation: Relative Bargaining Power as a Common Calibrator of an Interpersonal Syndrome (2013, background): “Behavioural geneticists (e.g. Bouchard & Loehlin, 2001), evolutionary theorists (e.g. Penke et al., 2007) and personality psychologists (McCrae & Costa, 2008) have tended to interpret the substantial heritability of personality traits as prima facie evidence for the existence of specific…”
Fundamental Dimensions of Environmental Risk (2009, background): “In such luxuriant contexts, where offspring can be successful without intensive biparental investment (as is common in many agricultural and modern societies), higher levels of energetic, impulsive, and noncompliant behavior characteristic of male bearers of the 7R allele may facilitate fast sexual ”
Adult temperament and childbearing over the life course (2010, background): “…have suggested that personality variation may be mostly random noise around evolved psychological adaptations (Tooby & Cosmides, 1990), others have pointed out that even small reproductive differentials associated with personality would be relevant over evolutionary time (Penke et al., 2007).”
Dissing Oneself versus Dissing Rivals: Effects of Status, Personality, and Sex on the Short-Term and Long-Term Attractiveness of Self-Deprecating and Other-Deprecating Humor (2008, background): “Finally, we thought that, insofar as the “Big Five” human personality traits may implement different status-seeking and sexual strategies (Nettle, 2006; Penke, Denissen, and Miller, 2007), they may predict differential use of self-deprecating humor, otherdeprecating humor, and other forms of humor.”
The Mini-IPIP6: Validation and extension of a short measure of the Big-Six factors of personality in New Zealand. (2011, methodology): “Elaborating upon this general perspective, Penke, Denissen, and Miller (2007) offered a refined definition of personality as individual reaction norms of genotypes across environments.”
Motivational individual reaction norms underlying the Five-Factor model of personality: First steps towards a theory-based conceptual framework (2008, background): “In trying to make sense of this factor, however, openness should be distinguished from psychometric intelligence, which is correlated with openness but not identical to it (McCrae & Costa, 1987; also see Penke et al., 2007a ).”
The Adaptive Calibration Model of stress responsivity (2010, unknown): “…alternative genotypes (and their expressed phenotypes) have approximately the same fitness when averaged across the fluctuating selection regimes (Penke et al., 2007); or when the fitness of alternative genotypes (and their expressed phenotypes) varies depending on their frequency in the…”
The evolutionary genetics of personality revisited (2016, background): “Common genetic variants are unlikely to be deleterious mutations [7].”
Genetic foundations of human intelligence (2009, background): “Penke et al. (2007) suggested that genetic variance in intelligence may result from mutation-selection balance, or the accumulation of many mildly harmful mutations, both old and new, that natural selection has not yet wiped from the population.”
Evolution, situational affordances, and the HEXACO model of personality (2016, methodology): “According to Penke et al. (2007), both niche specialization and frequencydependent selection result in allele variants, which result in individual differences in neurophysiological mechanisms, which in turn—when exposed to environmental influences—result in characteristic reactions to different…”
