Olfaction is an important determinant of attractiveness, possibly even more so than vision when judgments are made by women. However, research that directly compares these cues using actual stimuli (e.g., t-shirt odors) is lacking. In this study, 44 women rated the attractiveness of t-shirt odors and facial photographs of 21 men either independently (i.e., first rated t-shirts, then rated photo...

The authors’ goals in this article are to (a) describe a new task for the assessment of shifting attention between different affective stimuli, The Children’s Attentional Shifting Task (CAST); (b) present the theoretical background for the development of the CAST; and (c) report initial information on the developmental appropriateness and validity of the CAST. The task was tested using a sample...

In this longitudinal study, the authors addressed intracultural variation on fathers’ interactions with their 3-month-old infants, their ideas about parental care, and the timing of their children’s self-recognition at the age of 18–20 months. Participants were 24 middle-class German fathers and their firstborn children. Two behavioral clusters emerged: a more proximal parenting style with exte...

X-ray motion analysis of the vertebral column during the startle response in striped bass, Morone saxatilis.

Whole-body stiffness has a substantial impact on propulsive wave speed during axial undulatory locomotion in fishes. The connective tissues of the vertebral column may contribute to body stiffness, but without mechanical and kinematic analysis it is unclear whether the in vivo range of motion of intervertebral joints (IVJs) is great enough to stress IVJ tissues, thus generating stiffness. The p...
