Life history trajectories have been shown to be sensitive to local environmental conditions. Using English census data (2001), Copping, Campbell, and Muncer (2013) demonstrated that ecological indicators affect life history strategies (affecting leve...

Life-history theory (LHT) has drawn upon the concept of “time preference” as a psychological mechanism for the development of fast and slow strategies. However, the conceptual and empirical nature of this mechanism is ill-defined. This study compared... Read More about Conceptualizing Time Preference: A Life-History Analysis.

Psychometrics and Life History Strategy: The Structure and Validity of the High K Strategy Scale (2014)
Journal Article

In this paper, we critically review the conceptualization and implementation of psychological measures of life history strategy associated with Differential K theory. The High K Strategy Scale (HKSS: Giosan, 2006) was distributed to a large British s... Read More about Psychometrics and Life History Strategy: The Structure and Validity of the High K Strategy Scale.
