New Staff Publications for 2021 Q1

Our staff have had their research published recently, in the first yearly quarter of 2021.

Dr Steve-Stewart Williams was a contributing author on ‘Current fertility status does not predict sociosexual attitudes and desires in normally ovulating women’, published in Evolutionary Psychology. In this article, the researchers examined the claim that women prefer to have casual sex with other partners when they are at peak fertility, and did not find a relationship between the two.

This review was published in Aging & Mental Health. The researchers looked at measures of life satisfaction and happiness from 28 studies on these age groups, and found a variation of results.
