Personality accounts for stable preferences and expectations across a range of simple games (2011, background): “…intentionbased preferences, we hypothesised that neuroticism and extraversion, with links to revengeful thoughts following a transgression (Maltby et al., 2008) and dominance behaviours (Nettle, 2005), respectively, would predict less concern for the welfare of others following a selfish choice.”
Testing an Adaptationist Theory of Trait Covariation: Relative Bargaining Power as a Common Calibrator of an Interpersonal Syndrome (2013, background): “…formation and social status) but also correspondingly large potential costs (e.g. opportunity costs, exposure to pathogens and social conflict) (Alvergne, Jokela, & Lummaa, 2010; Anderson & Shirako, 2008; Ashton & Lee, 2007; Lukaszewski & Roney, 2011; Nettle, 2005, 2011; Schaller &Murray, 2008).”
Pathogens, personality, and culture: disease prevalence predicts worldwide variability in sociosexuality, extraversion, and openness to experience. (2008, background): “Thus, a dispositional tendency toward extraversion may be associated with an enhanced risk of disease transmission (Hamrick, Cohen, & Rodriguez, 2002; Nettle, 2005), and this may be the case particularly under ecological circumstances in which diseases are highly prevalent.”
The evolution of personality variation in humans and other animals. (2006, background): “For extraversion, the hypothesis that high scorers will have greater numbers of sexual partners but more serious injuries has already been confirmed (Nettle, 2005).”
The Behavioral Immune System: Implications for Social Cognition, Social Interaction, and Social Influence (2016, background): “of people—are more susceptible to disease transmission (Nettle, 2005).”
Social personality traits in chimpanzees: temporal stability and structure of behaviourally assessed personality traits in three captive populations (2011, unknown): “Finally, in humans (Homo sapiens), sociability and its higher-level personality construct extraversion (Costa and McCrae 1992) predict the likelihood of having children (Jokela et al. 2009), initiation of social contacts (Buchanan et al. 2005), size of social networks (Swickert et al. 2002) and sexu”
Interaction between animal personality and animal cognition (2011, background): “For humans, such a demonstration is necessarily more indirect, both for methodological reasons and because of the profound differences between the contemporary environments in which humans live and that typical of our evolutionary history (Nettle, 2005).”
Psychological profiles of professional actors. (2006, methodology): “Comparison data were taken from large British general population samples from Buchanan (2001) for the five personality factors, and Baron-Cohen et al. (2003) for the SQ and EQ. Alternative large samples of general-population British data using the same internet presentation as the current study have”
Strategic misrepresentation in online dating: The effects of gender, self-monitoring, and personality traits (2010, background): “Extraverts are likely to have a variety of sexual experiences (Nettle, 2005), and thus, it might be necessary for them to misrepresent the nature of their relational past.”
The evolutionary genetics of personality (2007, background): “, 1995), mating strategies (Nettle, 2005), and reproductive success (Eaves, Martin, Heath, Hewitt, & Neale, 1990).”
The Behavioral Immune System (2015, background): “Consequently, people who are more socially gregarious may be more susceptible to infection (Nettle, 2005).”
Personality-driven situation experience, contact, and construal: How people’s personality traits predict characteristics of their situations in daily life (2015, background): “…Sample 2 suggested extraverts also came in contact with more sexual/romantic situations which fits to conceptualizations of Extraversion as a domain of behavioral approach (MacDonald, 1995, 1998), risky mating (Nettle, 2005, 2006), and a predictor of mate approach (Asendorpf, Penke, & Back, 2011).”
Adult temperament and childbearing over the life course (2010, background): “…of behavioural ecology, and for men in particular, it is tempting to interpret this pattern as a reproductive strategy involving little or no parental investment (Gangestad & Simpson, 2000; Van Oers, Drent, Dingemanse, & Kempenaers, 2008) and perhaps higher mating effort (cf. Nettle, 2005).”
Motivational individual reaction norms underlying the Five-Factor model of personality: First steps towards a theory-based conceptual framework (2008, background): “…et al. (2002) reasoned that extraversion can be adaptive because it is correlated with people's ''social attention-holding power " (Gilbert, 1989), allowing for the exertion of group influence and the attraction of possible mates (Campbell, Simpson, Stewart, & Manning, 2003; Nettle, 2005, 2006).”
