Citations in the corpus

• The Presence of an Attractive Woman Elevates Testosterone and Physical Risk Taking in Young Men (2010, background): “We suspect that her attractiveness is important, given Baker and Maner’s (2008) research demonstrating that male risk taking increases only after exposure to attractive females.”
• Fundamental motives: How evolutionary needs influence consumer behavior (2013, background): “The mate acquisition system also alters men's decisionmaking, leading them to become less loss averse (Li et al., 2012), more risk-seeking (Baker & Maner, 2008; Knutson, Wimmer, Kuhnen, & Winkielman, 2008), and more impulsive (Wilson & Daly, 2004).”
