evolutionary psychology and mate choice decisions
Evolutionary psychology is the study of human behavior and cognition from an evolutionary perspective, which means examining how certain behaviors may have evolved to increase reproductive success. Specifically, when it comes to mate choice decisions, evolutionary psychology looks at how our preferences, traits, and behaviors in selecting a partner can be explained as adaptations designed to maximize our chances of passing on our genes to the next generations.
