Benevolent and Hostile Sexism and preferences for romantic partners (2009, background): “Although these gender differences have an evolutionary basis (see Buss, 1999; Fletcher, 2002), they are also maintained and modified by the social roles men and women occupy.”
Sociosexuality from Argentina to Zimbabwe: A 48-nation study of sex, culture, and strategies of human mating (2005, methodology): “Others have used similar theorizing to make predictions concerning women’s relative status and the degree of sexual differentiation in a culture (Kasser & Sharma 1999), though not always with supportive results (Fletcher 2002).”
When sad is better than happy: Negative affect can improve the quality and effectiveness of persuasive messages and social influence strategies (2007, background): “…how they respond to persuasion, the way they categorize social stimuli, and the way they evaluate others (Clore, Gasper, & Garvin, 2001; Fiedler, 2001; Fabrigar & Petty, 1999; Fletcher, 2002; Forgas, 1994, 2002; Niedenthal & Halberstadt, 2000; Petty et al., 1997, 2001; Sinclair & Mark, 1992, 1995).”
Sexual Strategies: A Journey Into Controversy (2003, unknown): “Human powers of introspection and personal insight are unquestionably limited, and there are undoubtedly subtle dynamics at work in interpersonal interactions that are not evident to any participant-observer (Fletcher, 2002).”
Pleasure and pressure based prosocial motivation: Divergent relations to subjective well-being. (2008, unknown): “This principle is evident in abundant research on effects of commitment and satisfaction in close relationships (for a review see Fletcher, 2002 ) and effects of identification and cohesion in groups (e.g., Shah, Kruglanski, & Thompson, 1998).”
The “True” Romantic: Benevolent Sexism and Paternalistic Chivalry (2003, background): “However, there is potential to develop the construct further by exploring whether or not paternalistic chivalry is related to other sexism scales (e.g., Swim et al., 1995) or scales that measure people’s views about male–female intimacy (see Fletcher, 2002).”
The Paranoid Optimist: An Integrative Evolutionary Model of Cognitive Biases (2006, background): “Thus, as Fletcher (2002) noted, bias and accuracy can vary quite independently, and systematic bias does not preclude a tether to reality.”
Self-Determination Theory as a Fundamental Theory of Close Relationships (2008, background): “Although the study of close relationships has been fundamental to the field of psychology since its inception, the development of a formalized relationships science has only emerged over the last 25 years (Fletcher, 2002; Kelley et al., 1983; Reis, Collins, & Berscheid, 2000).”
Social Support in Couples: An Examination of Gender Differences Using Self-report and Observational Methods (2007, background): “This observation leads us to our second major conclusion: That, apart from those men and women who fall at the extreme ends of the distribution and thereby confirming existing gender stereotypes, there are sizable numbers of both men and women that resemble prototypical exemplars of the opposite gen”
