Parental Anxiety, Parenting Behavior, and Infant Anxiety: Differential Associations for Fathers and Mothers (2015, background): “Fathers may be more insecure in interacting with their babies, as they know the child less at that young age compared to mothers, likely because of spending less time with their child (Geary 2010; Möller et al. 2013).”
Competition, autonomy, and prestige: Mechanisms through which the Dark Triad predict job satisfaction ☆ (2015, background): “In contrast, members of the less valuable sex (men, or more generally, male mammals) have a much higher reproductive ceiling (limited only by the number of viable female sexual partners) and stand to gain more from risktaking, and have evolved to be intrasexually competitive in order to obtain acces”
Who is The Fairest One of All? How Evolution Guides Peer and Media Influences on Female Body Dissatisfaction (2011, background): “In fact, an evolutionary perspective fully predicts that men will compete intensely over access to women (Geary, 2010; Puts, 2010).”
Middle Childhood: An Evolutionary‐Developmental Synthesis (2014, positive): “…by chimpanzees and, to a lesser extent, gorillas; Bernstein, Sterner, & Wildman, 2012) results in a temporary decoupling between physical and behavioral development, consistent with the idea of middle childhood as a sexually differentiated phase of social learning and experimentation (Geary, 2010).”
Evolutionary Psychology and Feminism (2011, background): “Given the extant evidence, the odds that sexual selection forged gender differences in human physical attributes but not in corresponding gender differences psychological attributes is essentially zero (Geary 2010; Okami and Shackelford 2001; Symons 1987).”
The Adaptive Calibration Model of stress responsivity (2010, neutral): “For example, there is a peak in fighting and rough-and tumble play (especially boys), play parenting (usually girls), and sex segregation between groups of boys and girls (Geary, 2010).”
The influence of demographics and personality on COVID-19 coping in young adults (2020, positive): “and suggest the likelihood that seeking socioemotional support is related to different personality traits for men and women (Ashton & Lee, 2007; Geary, 2010).”
Can Stereotype Threat Explain the Gender Gap in Mathematics Performance and Achievement? (2012, background): “Irrespective of mathematics performance, there is little debate about the existence of gender differences in a variety of cognitive domains (Chrisler & McCreary, 2010; Geary, 2010; Halpern, 2000).”
Feminism and the Evolution of Sex Differences and Similarities (2011, background): “Although evolutionary psychologists do not maintain that sex differences are invariant, they emphasize a universal psychology and the different innate natures of men and women, especially in domains linked to sexual selection theory (e.g., Geary 2009; Low 2000).”
Who does what on Facebook? Age, sex, and relationship status as predictors of Facebook use (2012, background): “…that men and women have very different mating strategies and preferences, with men seeking attractiveness, youth, and fertility in mates while advertizing their own status, achievement, and access to resources; women show the opposite pattern (Buss, 1989a, 1989b; Buss & Schmitt, 1993; Geary, 2010).”
