However, these studies have been cross-sectional. The present shor... Read More about Parental monitoring and youth behavior problems: moderation by callous-unemotional traits over time.

Interpersonal trust and market value moderates the bias in women’s preferences away from attractive high-status men (2011)
Journal Article

Women appear to exhibit a subtle reluctance to engage in long-term relationships with physically attractive, high-status men. We propose that this bias away from men of very high market value is based on fear that these males may desert a relationshi...

Although knowing and feeling the emotions of other people might result in less bullying, we argue that not caring about these feelings will also be important. That is, what good is empathy, if one does not care about the feelings or values of others?... Read More about Empathy and bullying: Exploring the influence of callous-unemotional traits.
