The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...
Natural Selection and Mating Preferences

This principle is closely intertwined with mating preferences, a key aspect of sexual selection, which evolutionary psychologists believe is driven by instincts to propagate one's genes. Such instincts significantly influence mating behaviors and preferences between genders.
