Question 2

Findings reported by Cooper & Eaves cannot be interpreted as supporting the evolutionary MSP explanation because they:

Accepted Answer

Cooper & Eaves' findings cannot support the evolutionary MSP (Mate Selection Preferences) explanation if they did not measure MSP directly. Without directly assessing mate selection preferences, any conclusions drawn about evolutionary explanations for these preferences would be speculative at best.

Question 3

Support for the MSP explanation provided by Polk's findings is:

Accepted Answer

A

Question 14

Roberts & Noller report findings indicating that the final interaction context for the femicide-suicides they studied was:
