“…These were scored and aggregated directionally to indicate a slow (high- K ) LH strategy, on the fast–slow ( r – K ) continuum. Not including the Mini-K, the seven subscales of the ALHB are as follows: Insight, Planning, and Control (20 items; adapted from Brim et al, 2000 ; Figueredo et al, 2004 , 2007 ); Mother/Father Relationship Quality (26 items; adapted from Brim et al, 2000 ; Figueredo et al, 2004 , 2007 ); Family Social Contact and Support (15 items; adapted from Barrera, Sandler, & Ramsay, 1981 ; Figueredo et al, 2001 ); Friends Social Contact and Support (15 items; adapted from Barrera et al, 1981 ; Figueredo et al, 2001 ); Experiences in Close Relationships (ECR: 36 items; adapted from Brennan, Clark, & Shaver, 1998 ; Alonso-Arbiol, Balluerka, & Shaver, 2007 ; Figueredo et al, 2005 ); General Altruism (50 items; adapted from Brim et al, 2000 ; Figueredo et al, 2004 , 2007 ); and Religiosity (17 items; adapted from Brim et al, 2000 ; Figueredo et al, 2004 , 2007 ). As the internal consistency reliabilities of the ALHB subscales are a major subject of the present analyses, presentation of these psychometric properties will be deferred to the Results section.…”

The purpose of the present article is to propose an alternative short form for the 199-item Arizona Life History Battery (ALHB), which we are calling the K-SF-42, as it contains 42 items as compared with the 20 items of the Mini-K, the short form that has been in greatest use for the past decade. These 42 items were selected from the ALHB, unlike those of the Mini-K, making direct comparisons of the relative psychometric performance of the two alternative short forms a valid and instructive exercise. A series of secondary data analyses were performed upon a recently completed five-nation crosscultural survey, which was originally designed to assess the role of life history strategy in the etiology of interpersonal aggression. Only data from the ALHB that were collected in all five cross-cultural replications were used for the present analyses. The single immediate objective of this secondary data analysis was producing the K-SF-42 such that it would perform optimally across all five cultures sampled, and perhaps even generalize well to other modern industrial societies not currently sampled as a result of the geographic breadth of those included in the present study. A novel method, based on the use of the Cross-Sample Geometric Mean as a criterion for item selection, was used for generating such a crossculturally valid short form.

“…Of course, individual interests may at times coincide and individuals may thereby benefit by cooperating with individuals that have similar interests. In this way, patriarchal cultures may advance the reproductive interests of men as a group, just as matrilocal population demographics may benefit the reproductive interests of women as a group ( Figueredo et al, 2001 ), but it is individual males and females who ultimately reap the reproductive benefits.…”

“…Most psychological adaptations are expressed within particular cultural contexts and depend on culture for their development and functioning. Thus, the degree of patriarchy and matrilocality within a given region may determine the extent and form of sexual conflict within that region (see Figueredo et al, 2001 ). From an evolutionary perspective, when a culture is patriarchal, the men within that culture are embedded within a social system that benefits their evolved reproductive interests more than it benefits the reproductive interests of women.…”

“…The power of female social networks is manifest in matrilocal cultures, where daughters remain close to their mothers, and often live with them after marriage ( Figueredo et al, 2001 ). Matrilocal cultures enable women to maintain reproductive power, as women may thus accumulate more economic resources as well as protection from their female relatives.…”

Coevolutionary arms races between males and females have equipped both sexes with mutually manipulative and defensive adaptations. These adaptations function to benefit individual reproductive interests at the cost of the reproductive interests of oppositesex mates, and arise from evolutionary dynamics such as parental investment (unequal reproductive costs between the sexes) and sexual selection (unequal access to opposite-sex mates). Individuals use these adaptations to hijack others' reproductive systems, psychological states, and behaviors-essentially using other individuals as extended phenotypes of themselves. Such extended phenotypic manipulation of sexual rivals and opposite-sex mates is enacted by humans with the aid of hormones, pheromones, neurotransmitters, emotions, language, mind-altering substances, social institutions, technologies, and ideologies. Furthermore, sexual conflict may be experienced at an individual level when maternal genes and paternal genes are in conflict within an organism. Sexual conflict may be physically and emotionally destructive, but may also be exciting and constructive for relationships. By extending the biological concept of sexual conflict into social and cultural domains, scholars may successfully bridge many of the interdisciplinary gaps that separate the sciences from the humanities.

“…Theft also is common during war, and for the same reason: punishment or retaliation is unlikely. Support for this hypothesized type may be seen in research demonstrating that women with family members, particularly adult male family members, living nearby are much less likely to be physically assaulted by their partner (Figueredo et al, 2001;Kanin, 1957). This suggests that potential rapists are attending to the probability of retaliation by a victim's adult male family members.…”

Why Do Men Rape? An Evolutionary Psychological Perspective

Rape of women by men has occurred throughout recorded history and across cultures. In this article, we discuss rape from an evolutionary psychological perspective. Evolutionary psychology is a powerful heuristic tool that allows researchers to develop and test novel hypotheses about complex behaviors such as rape. Some researchers have argued that men have evolved psychological mechanisms that motivate them to rape in specific contexts. We discuss evidence consistent with this claim, and argue that a more nuanced view of men's rape behavior is necessary. We propose that it may be useful to characterize rapists as belonging to one of several types, distinguished by individual differences as well as by the circumstances in which they are predicted to commit rape. We discuss research evidence in support of each rapist type, as well as the need for future research. Finally, we discuss research concerning women's rape-avoidance psychology and behavior.
