EPISODE 1 - Martie G. Haselton Ph.D.
Professor of Psychology
University of California, Los Angeles
Martie G. Haselton, Ph.D. is an interdisciplinary evolutionary scientist interested in how evolution has shaped the social mind. She is broadly interested in human intimate relationships and sexuality, their endocrine foundations, and their links to outcomes with broad social relevance, including health and well-being.
As discussed on the episode, in a classic study, men and women of average attractiveness approached a stranger of the opposite sex. They told them they found them attractive and asked them if they would be interested in one of three things: a date, come back to the apartment, or have sex.
Here were the results:
