The Daughter-Guarding Hypothesis: Parental Influence on, and Emotional Reactions to, Offspring's Mating Behavior (2008, background): “An evolutionary perspective leads to the expectation that those whose reproductive success (RS) can be affected by another individual’s mating decisions—such as close kin or coalitional allies—will attempt to influence those decisions when possible ( Buunk, Park and Dubbs, 2008 ).”
Cultural Variation in Parental Influence on Mate Choice (2010, background): “Therefore, to the extent that parents and offspring diverge in their criteria for mate choice—and it appears that they do (Buunk et al., 2008)—the preferences of parents must be given consideration when applying theories of sexual selection to humans.”
Parent-Offspring Conflict over Mating: The Case of Beauty (2008, background): “Buunk, Park, and Dubbs (2008) tested a similar hypothesis and found that individuals consider a mating candidate who is not good looking more unacceptable than they think that their parents would.”
Meet the parents: Parent-offspring convergence and divergence in mate preferences (2011, unknown): “Another recent evolutionary analysis approached this phenomenon from the offspring's perspective (Buunk et al., 2008).”
