    Societies also prioritize female survival.April Bleske-Rechek & Robert O. Deaner - 2022 - Behavioral and Brain Sciences 45.
    We extend Benenson et al.'s hypothesis from the individual level to the societal level. Because women have highly limited reproductive rates, societies have generally prioritized female survival and regarded males as expendable. We describe various lines of evidence that are consistent with this hypothesis, and we offer additional predictions about differential attitudes toward male versus female endangerment.

    Flaws in evolutionary theory and interpretation.Robert O. Deaner & Carel P. van Schaik - 2001 - Behavioral and Brain Sciences 24 (2):282-283.
    We make three points. First, even if Finlay et al.'s proposed developmental mechanisms hold, there remains great scope for selection on specific brain structures. Second, the positive covariance among the size of brain structures provides far less support for the proposed developmental mechanisms than Finlay et al. acknowledge. Third, even if the proposed mechanisms are the primary size determinants for most brain structures, these structures should not be considered.

    Risk Taking Runners Slow More in the Marathon.Robert O. Deaner, Vittorio Addona & Brian Hanley - 2019 - Frontiers in Psychology 10:421762.
    Much research has explored the physiological, energetic, environmental, and psychological factors that influence pacing in endurance events. Although this research has generally neglected the role of psychological variation across individuals, recent studies have hinted at its importance. Here we conducted an online survey of over 1,300 marathon runners, testing whether any of five psychological constructs—competitiveness, goal achievement, risk taking in pace (RTP), domain-specific risk taking, and willingness to suffer in the marathon—predicted slowing in runners’ most recent marathons. Analyses revealed that (...)
