| Question | Answer |
| Give the three pieces of alternative evidence for Buss | Cellerino Waynforth and Dunbar Cunningham et al |
| What did Cunningham et al do? | Hispanic students, native Asians and white Americans rated the attractiveness of Hispanic, black, white and Asian females |
| What did Cunningham et al find? | close agreement across cultural groups when rating physical attractiveness. mean correlation of +0.93 |
| How does Cunningham et al develop Buss? | supports- men look for physical attractiveness in women across different cultures therefore increasing reliability. improves pop.v as different set of p's were used as well as time validity |
| Cellerino | baby features such as small nose, big forehead rosy cheeks are said to be attractive. in 2003 C stated these were good indicators of high levels of oestrogen therefore high fertility |
| Cellerino improves Buss | supports- suggests there is an evolutionary aspect in what we look for in a mate. increases time v as what we look for in a mate has not changed since 1989. |
| Cellerino, contradictory | However, research shows rise in contraception suggesting women don't have sex purely to have a baby and therefore contradicting the evolutionary explanation. |
| Waynforth and Dunbar- what did they do and find? | performed content analysis on 900 ads from four different newspapers in the US. found more men looked for youth and physical attractiveness than women |
| what else did Waynforth and Dunbar find | women were more likely to describe themselves using physically attractive words whereas men were more likely to describe themselves with words relating to economic status. |
| how does Waynforth and Dunbar improve Buss | supports as shows both men and women look for characteristics in partners based on the evolutionary urge. improves pop.v-diff set of p's although decreases as only done on Americans. improves time v |
