The Paranoid Optimist: An Integrative Evolutionary Model of Cognitive Biases (2006, methodology): “More important, evidence of sexual overperception does not appear in women (Haselton, 2003; Haselton & Buss, 2000; Maner et al., 2005).”
Male sexual attractiveness predicts differential ovulatory shifts in female extra-pair attraction and male mate retention (2006, background): “Items assessing partner mate value (after Haselton, 2003) varied along two primary dimensions: sexual attractiveness and investment attractiveness.”
The Evolution of Cognitive Bias (2015, background): “…women from the United States reported more instances within the last year in which men overestimated their sexual interest than in which men underestimated it, suggesting that these men overper ceived women’s sexual interest in naturalistic situations outside of the lab (Haselton, 2003).”
The Evolution of Accuracy and Bias in Social Judgment (2004, background): “Three studies using diverse methods confirmed Abbey’s original finding and showed, as predicted, that women do not show the same bias in interpreting men’s sexual intent (Haselton & Buss, 2000; Haselton, 2003).”
Adaptive rationality: An evolutionary perspective on cognitive bias (2009, unknown): “, 1989; Shotland & Craig, 1988), vignettes (Abbey & Harnish, 1995; DeSouza, Pierce, Zanelli, & Hutz, 1992; Haselton & Buss, 2000; Kowalski, 1993), naturalistic personal experiences (Haselton, 2003; Koenig, Kirkpatrick, & Ketelaar, 2007), and experiments (Maner et al.”
The subtleties of error management (2010, methodology): “To clarify the relationship between interesting behavioral biases and the cost asymmetries so widely discussed in error management theory, we develop a simple binary model similar to that found in Haselton and Nettle (2006). The decision maker faces one of two possible situations.”
