Skin colour, pigmentation and the perceived health of human faces 

Stephen, Ian David (University of St Andrews, 2009-11-11) - Thesis,
Many non-human animal species use colour to signal dominance, condition or reproductive status. These signals have not previously been noted in humans. This thesis investigates the effects of skin colouration and pigmentation ...

Factors influencing the motivational salience of faces 

Hahn, Amanda C. (University of St Andrews, 2013) - Thesis,
My research utilizes a behavioral key-press task adapted from the classic bar-press technique employed in many rodent studies of reward to explore the incentive salience of beauty among humans. In Chapter 2, I replicate ...

Face evaluation : perceptual and neurophysiological responses to pro-social attributions 

Dzhelyova, Milena (University of St Andrews, 2013-06-25) - Thesis,
The pro-sociality of humans is manifested by the existence of cooperation in levels not common with any other species. Previous studies suggest that snap judgements of individuals are enough to determine if someone is a ...

Sexual selection and trust games 

Stirrat, Michael (University of St Andrews, 2010-06-23) - Thesis,
In economic games the facial attributes of counterparts bias decisions to trust and decisions to enter play. We report research supporting hypotheses that trust and reciprocation decisions in trust games are biased by ...

Moore, Fhionna R. (University of St Andrews, 2007) - Thesis,
Mate preferences provide an opportunity to explore the validity of evolutionary and social role origin theories of sex differences in human behaviour. In evolutionary models, preferences are sex-specific adaptive responses ...

Sexual selection and the human face : beauty in the face of the beheld and in the eye of the beholder 

Little, Anthony Charles (University of St Andrews, 2004-06) - Thesis,
Evolutionary theory has been proposed to provide an answer to the question of why some faces are perceived to be more attractive than others are. The first part of this thesis provides an introduction to an evolutionary ...

The effects of pubertal timing and dominance on the mating strategy, appearance and behaviour of men 

Lawson, Jamie F. (University of St Andrews, 2008) - Thesis,
Pubertal timing is a human life history variable representing a trade-off between early reproduction and continued growth. Dominance is an important feature to male mate value. These two variables should have far-reaching ...

At face value : how internet access, pubertal timing, environmental harshness, and population familiarity influence facial preferences 

Batres, Julia Carlota (University of St Andrews, 2016-04-12) - Thesis,
Chapter One introduces the field of evolutionary psychology as well as provides a review of factors influencing facial attractiveness. Chapter Two presents empirical evidence that online studies may provide a distorted ...

Sexual dimorphism in faces across development through early adulthood : perceptions, attributions and stability 

Cornwell, Robin Elisabeth (University of St Andrews, 2005-10) - Thesis,
In this thesis, I use a Darwinian approach to explore the role of sexual-dimorphism in human behaviour across development and into early adulthood, and its impact on adult mating-strategies. In Studies 1-2, I explore the ...

The role of apparent health in face preferences 

Jones, Benedict Christopher (University of St Andrews, 2005-06) - Thesis,
This thesis describes a series of empirical studies that investigated the role of apparent health in face preferences. Chapter 1 summarises previous work showing that facial symmetry, averageness and sexual dimorphism ...
