Mechanisms of odour discrimination in humans
To be confirmed Individual variation in odour perception Facial symmetry and attractiveness judgments Discrimination of attractiveness among homosexual adults Early life experience and olfactory preferences in adulthood Conservatism and threat management Human olfactory communication Changes in addictive behaviour across the menstrual cycle Mutual odour recognition between mother and child Odour and Equine therapy Oral contraceptive use and relationship satisfaction Evolutionary perspectives on perception of crime Verbal and non-verbal elements of language - are they linked? Consequences of using oral contraceptives during mate choice Personality and altruistic punishment: an experimental approach Consequences of using oral contraceptives during mate choice Height and perceived attractiveness Clothing colour and attractiveness judgements Behavioural changes across the menstrual cycle Male hirsuteness and physical attractiveness Attentional bias across the menstrual cycle From mate preference to partner choice Variation in human voice in response to intra- and inter-sexual stimuli Correlates of MHC heterozygosity Personality and willingness to punish Facial similarity and attractiveness in couples Correlates of cooperation in children and young adults Perceived attractiveness between static and dynamic images The role of facial resemblance in human mate choice Is confidence really attractive? Female attractiveness - a cross-cultural investigation Body size and physical attractiveness Mate choice copying in humans Contraceptive pill use: potential evolutionary implications Effect of hair length on attractiveness Seeing red |
