Unpacking “evil”: Claiming the core of the Dark Triad (2015, background): “However, it is worth noting again that life history theory is primarily a mid-level biological explanation for explaining energy/ resource allocation across the lifespan (Figueredo et al., 2006; Jonason et al., 2012).”
Four shades of sexual fantasies linked to the Dark Triad (2014, background): “, damage to reputation, death of offspring, loss of social support) for men than it does for women (Figueredo et al., 2006), having personality traits like the Dark Triad and an accelerated mating strategy might be more adaptive for men than for women (Jonason et al.”
Did sexual selection shape human music? Testing predictions from the sexual selection hypothesis of music evolution using a large genetically informative sample of over 10,000 twins (2015, methodology): “Two items of the Swedish translation of theMini-K, a 20 item short form of the Arizona Life History Battery (Figueredo et al., 2006) were used to estimate sociosexuality (orientation towards shortterm versus long-term relationships).”
Genetic confounding of the relationship between father absence and age at menarche (2017, background): “Researchers in the behavioral sciences have made theoretical and empirical advances by leveraging life history theory to better understand human psychology and behavior (e.g., Brumbach, Figueredo, & Ellis, 2009; Chisholm, 1993, 1999; Del Giudice, 2009; Figueredo et al., 2006).”
The dark side of love: Love styles and the Dark Triad (2010, methodology): “Taken together, the results are consistent with the work on Life History Theory (see Figueredo et al., 2006) that men and women differ in their coordinated psychological systems that relate to different life strategies.”
Sexual coercion and life-history strategy (2008, methodology): “…uncertain parental investment), which may not support a strategy of “investing” in future reproduction or of investing in any individual offspring because one's future survival is uncertain, may lead fast LH individuals to multiple short-term sexual encounters (e.g., Figueredo et al., 2006).”
Sex Differences in Attachment Emerge in Middle Childhood: An Evolutionary Hypothesis (2010, background): “…reproductive strategies to be implemented across a broad suite of co-varying traits, including attachment, sexuality, dominanceseeking and aggression, trust and cooperation, and risk taking (Belsky et al., 1991; Chisholm, 1999; Figueredo et al., 2006; Wolf, van Doorn, Leimar, & Weissing, 2007).”
How the Dark Triad traits predict relationship choices (2012, background): “In contrast, psychopathy may be characterized by an opportunistic, exploitive mating strategy (Figueredo et al., 2006; Jonason et al., 2009b; Mealey, 1995).”
The General Factor of Personality: A meta-analysis of Big Five intercorrelations and a criterion-related validity study (2010, neutral): “In a large national survey, Figueredo et al. (2006) found Openness, Extraversion, and Agreeableness to show the highest GFP loadings, and Neuroticism the lowest. In smaller-scale meta-analyses Rushton and Irwing (2008) found that the Big Five contribute to the GFP mainly in an indirect way, through ”
I just cannot control myself: The Dark Triad and self-control (2010, methodology): “…suggests individuals with indicators of a fast life history strategy report more Dark Triad related traits, including antisocial (Ellis, 1988; Figueredo et al., 2006; Mealey, 1995) and opportunistic personality traits (Figueredo, Vásquez, Brumbach, & Schneider, 2007), manifested as both…”
High-K Strategy Scale: A Measure of the High-K Independent Criterion of Fitness (2006, background): “1) Health and attractiveness: High-K strategists invest in somatic effort, which should translate into better health and increased lifespan (Figueredo et al., 2006).”
The juvenile transition: A developmental switch point in human life history (2009, neutral): “…aggression to compete with rivals), and can be expected to covary in broad ‘‘clusters” along the main life history dimensions, such as current vs. future reproduction and parenting vs. mating (Belsky, Steinberg, & Draper, 1991; Chisholm, 1999; Figueredo et al., 2006; Kaplan & Gangestad, 2005).”
