“…It should, therefore, be both desirable and detectable in potential mates. Similar arguments have been made for creativity (G. F. Miller, 2000;Prokosch et al, 2009) and emotional competence (Gignac & Callis, 2020;G. F. Miller, 2007).…”

Who is the best judge of a person’s abilities—the person, a knowledgeable informant or strangers just met in a 3-min speed date? To test this, we collected ability measures as well as self-, informant- and stranger-estimates of verbal, numerical and spatial intelligence, creativity, and intra- and interpersonal emotional competence from 175 young adults. While people themselves were the most accurate about the majority of their abilities, their verbal and spatial intelligence were only estimable by informants or strangers, respectively. These differences in accuracy were not accompanied by differences in the domains’ relevance to people’s self-worth or observability to strangers. These results indicate self-other knowledge asymmetries for abilities but raise questions about the reasons behind these asymmetries.

“…A small body of research suggests that emotional competence is desirable in a partner (e.g., Gignac & Callis, 2020). We found mixed evidence in this regard: Zero-order correlations showed small associations of women's intrapersonal emotional management abilities and men's interpersonal emotional management abilities with aggregated LT mate appeal across all perceivers (rs ~ .2).…”

“…The optimal level of creativity people seek in partners for sexual and serious relationships is above average (Regan et al, 2000). Recently, Gignac and Callis (2020) showed that people rated high -but not necessarily very high -emotional intelligence most desirable in a prospective partner. Indeed, concerns about potentially low emotional intelligence were among the most common reasons participants named for not wanting their partner to be too intelligent.…”

“…Mas a relação positiva entre inteligência e atratividade não cresce infinitamente. A inteligência só é atraente até certo ponto, isto é, em torno de 120 pontos de QI (Gignac & Callis 2020;Gignac et al 2018). Depois desse valor, é provável que os indivíduos tenham problemas para encontrar parceiros similares o suficiente.…”

Este livro foi pensado para ser um primeiro texto didático e introdutório às bases ecológicas e evolutivas do comportamento humano, voltado para o ensino ao nível de graduação. Porém, este livro também pode ser útil para aqueles entrando na pós-graduação, especialmente vindos de áreas sem muita tradição de ensino e pesquisa ecológica e evolutiva. Embora cada capítulo possa ser lido em qualquer ordem, organizamos o livro de modo que a sequência sugerida, que vai do geral ao mais específico, permita ao aprofundamento gradual dos diferentes conceitos e disciplinas dedicadas aos estudos ecológicos e evolutivos do comportamento e da mente humana.
