There is evidence that men have lower thresholds than women for inferring sexual intent. Knowledge of this mechanism, however, allows for the possibility of change. Men, for example, can be educated with the information that they have lower thresholds for inferring sexual intent when a woman smiles at them. This knowledge can then be used by men.
Erkeklerin cinsel niyet çıkarımı yapmak için kadınlardan daha düşük eşiklere sahip olduğuna dair kanıtlar var. Bununla birlikte, bu mekanizmanın bilgisi, değişim olasılığına izin verir. Örneğin erkekler, bir kadın onlara gülümsediğinde cinsel niyeti anlamak için daha düşük eşiklere sahip oldukları bilgisi ile eğitilebilir. Bu bilgi daha sonra erkekler tarafından kullanılabilir.
Evolutionary Personality Psychology
Personality psychology might be the broadest and the most encompassing branch of psychology. Historically, all “grand” theories of personality have hypotheses about the contents of human nature at their core, such as motives for sex and aggression (Sigmund Freud), self-actualization (Abraham Maslow), striving for superiority (Adler), or striving for status and intimacy (David McClelland, Henry Murray, & Jerry Wiggins). Hypothesized psychological features of human nature have provided much of the “core” around which these grand theories of personality have been constructed.
On the other hand, personality psychology has also been centrally concerned with individual differences: What are the most important ways individuals differ? What are the origins of individual differences? What are the psychological and physiological correlates of individual differences? What are the consequences of individual differences for social interaction, psychopathology, well-being, and the life course?

Killing a wife imposes a cost on the perpetrator as well as the victim, as the husband has essentially destroyed any access to a reproductively valuable asset. Killing a wife, therefore, seems genuinely puzzling from an evolutionary perspective. Wilson and Daly (1996) explain this puzzle by proposing that violence is a means of deterrence. Threats require credibility to be effective. Men, according to this logic, sometimes use violence to enhance the credibility of their threats. The violence, and even killing, seems quite counter to the man’s self-interest. But if the violence increases the credibility of the threats, then it can pay off, on average, when the man is able to subsequently use threats without resorting to actual violence.
Are people deceiving themselves? Do we really want reciprocal rewards but fool ourselves into believing that we help our friends out of the goodness of our hearts? Tooby and Cosmides (1996) argue that we should attend to people’s intuitions, for they provide a cue that friendships might not be based solely on reciprocal exchange.
