Journal Article
Jacques, K., Evans, E., & Boothroyd, L. (2021). Experimental manipulation of muscularity preferences through visual diet and associative learning. PLoS ONE, 16(8), Article e0255403. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0255403

Body preferences are somewhat flexible and this variability may be the result of one’s visual diet (whereby mere exposure to certain bodies shifts preferences), associative learning mechanisms (whereby cues to health and status within the population...

Assessing joint commitment as a process in great apes (2021)
Journal Article
Heesen, R., Bangerter, A., Zuberbühler, K., Iglesias, K., Neumann, C., Pajot, A., …Genty, E. (2021). Assessing joint commitment as a process in great apes. iScience, 24(8), Article 102872. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.isci.2021.102872

Many social animals interact jointly, but only humans experience a specific sense of obligation toward their co-participants, a joint commitment. However, joint commitment is not only a mental state but also a process that reveals itself in the coord... Read More about Assessing joint commitment as a process in great apes.
