Teachers' Negative Affect Toward Academically Gifted Students (2008, background): “Around 75% of all speech is gossip, slightly more for women and significantly more for academics (Barrett et al., 2002).”
Blatant benevolence and conspicuous consumption: when romantic motives elicit strategic costly signals. (2007, background): “…displays serve to increase the signaler’s status and prestige (Boone, 1998; Hardy & Van Vugt, 2006; Roberts, 1998), which may ultimately increase the signaler’s ability to attract and retain desirable mates (Goldberg, 1995; Miller, 2000; Mulcahy (1999) as cited in Barrett et al., 2002).”

Corpus Use in Language Learning: A Meta-Analysis. (2017, background): “Rules are hard, patterns are easy; or rather, rules are an artificial intellectual abstraction, whereas the human brain is programmed to detect patterns in the world around us (e.g., Barrett, Dunbar, & Lycett, 2002), including while learning and using language.”

Let us return to Wilson’s kin selection explanation for homosexuality. Rose et al. (1984) point out the weaknesses in this argument.”
The First Joke: Exploring the Evolutionary Origins of Humor (2006, background): “In addition, the reader is directed to two other reviews, emphasizing different aspects of humor and laughter’s evolutionary history (Vaid, 1999; Weisfeld, 1993).”
