Flink & Penton- Voak:
*Symmetry:
-bilateral symmetry reflect overall high quality of development (ex. ability to resist environmental perturbations during development)
-symmetrical face signal the ability of an individual to cope with the challenges of his/her environment
-symmetry of bilateral traits positively correlated with genetic heterozygosity
-Scheib, Gangestad, and Thornhill (1999)- found relationship between women’s attractiveness ratings of faces and symmetry even when symmetry cues were removed by presenting only the left or right half of each face => attractive features other than symmetry can be used to assess physical condition
-other studies (Thornhill과 반대)- symmetry is more readily perceived by the visual system than other perceptual cues are
*Averageness:
-computer generated average faces are rated as more attractive than almost all of the individual faces they are constructed from
-Halberstadt and Rhodes (2000)- found strong relationship between averageness and attractiveness also for non-face objects (ex. drawings of dogs, birds, watches) => humans have general attraction to prototypical exemplars
-exactly what features contribute to the preference for averageness, and whether these effects represent an adaptation or by-products of other adaptations, remains unclear
*hormone markers:
-hormone markers in pubertal males, high testosterone-to-estrogen ratio facilitates the lateral growth of the cheekbones, mandibles, and chin; the forward growth of the bones of the eyebrow ridges; and lengthening of the lower facial bone
-high estrogen may signal that female’s immune system is of high quality that it can deal with the toxic effects of high estrogen
-testosterone suppresses the immune system
-relative hairlessness and smooth skin in women may signal fertility because of its association with low androgen and high estrogen
-skin infection may denote disturbance of the production of androgen and estrogen and reduced reproductive ability
-males evaluate females’ skin texture, characteristics of age and facial shape in judging facial beauty
-Perret et al (1998)- females’ preferences regarding male faces are apparently driven by stereotypical personality attributions
Buss:
*3 ingredients of sexual strategies theory: 1. human mating is inherently strategic; we are completely unaware of why we find certain qualities attractive in a mate 2. mating strategies are context-dependent; people behave differently depending on whether the situation presents itself as a short-term or long-term mating prospect 3. men and women have faced different mating problems over the course of human evolution and have evolved different strategies
*hypothesis 1:Short-term mating is more important for men than women
-sexes do not differ in their stated proclivities for seeking a long-term mate. BUT men reported a greater interest in seeking a short-term sexual partner than did women
-men desired a greater number of sex partners than reported by the women for every interval of time
-for all shorter time intervals, men were more likely to consider sexual intercourse
-Clark&Hatfield study (lecture 시간에 선생님이 알려주셨던 스터디임)
*hypothesis 2: Men seeking a short-term mate will solve the problem of identifying women who are sexually accessible
-men find promiscuity mildly desirable in short-term mate, but undesirable in a long-term mate
-qualities that signal sexual inaccessibility will be disliked by men seeking short-term mates
-lack of sexual experience is slightly valued by men in a long-term mate
*hypothesis 3: Men seeking a short-term mate will minimize commitment and investment
-attribute of wanting a commitment was strongly desirable in a long-term mate but strongly undesirable in a short-term mate
-although women strongly wanted commitment from a long-term mate, it was only mildly undesirable in a short-term mate
*hypothesis 4: Men seeking a short-term mate will solve the

EDEC4001 ESSAY Edited

traditionally based in play (Van Hoorn, et al, 2003), the majority of studies are focused on the use of computers to enhance learning in a particular curriculum area. A recent study of 4-5 year old preschoolers demonstrated that educational games are used more frequently (79.54%) than recreational (59.90%) (Zevenbergen & Logan, 2008, p.41). Thus, the developmental value of computer games is still undervalued and not fully understood. Studies highlight the opportunities for language use and social interaction…

Course Structure: Instead of going a traditional way of studying the three building blocks in a sequence, we will dive into major concepts early on and then apply them throughout the course via case studies. The advantage of this approach is that it not only illuminates concepts from different angles, but also helps identify connections between the building blocks when thinking of a firm strategy. I believe this approach to be more instrumental and more…
