Does attitude similarity serve as a heuristic cue for kinship? Evidence of an implicit cognitive association (2005, background): “People provide more assistance to kin than to nonkin and are more inclined to help closer kin than more distant kin (Burnstein, Crandall, & Kitayama, 1994; Essock-Vitale & McGuire, 1985; Kruger, 2003).”
Evolutionary Psychology and Family Business: A New Synthesis for Theory, Research, and Practice (2008, background): “This is what evolutionists call “kin selection”: the tendency to display bias in favor of one’s relatives over nonrelatives (Kruger, 2003; Neyer & Lang, 2003).”
Altruism among kin vs. nonkin: effects of cost of help and reciprocal exchange (2007, background): “This includes friends, who often receive as much or more help than kin (Cialdini et al., 1997; Essock-Vitale & McGuire, 1985; Kruger, 2003).”

From Mate Retention to Murder: Evolutionary Psychological Perspectives on Men's Partner-Directed Violence (2009, background): “…psychological theories have been applied successfully to the investigation of diverse human behaviors, including altruism and cooperation (Kruger, 2003; Stewart-Williams, 2008), conflict and violence (Archer, 2006b; Daly & Wilson, 1988; Wilson & Daly, 1998), decision making (Cosmides &…”
