Affiliative Response to Stress: an empirical investigation of Tend-and-Befriend model (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Karastoyanova, K. V., & Sharp, M. A. (2018, July). Affiliative Response to Stress: an empirical investigation of Tend-and-Befriend model. Poster presented at 30th annual meeting of the Human Behavior and Evolution Society, Amsterdam

Stress research in humans has been considered predominantly within the conceptual framework of Cannon’s Fight-or-Flight model. However, observations that it was primarily tested on males led to the development of the tend-befriend model in females (T...

Female Gaze Behaviour, Status and the Menstrual Cycle: An Exploratory Study (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sharp, M. A., & Hamilton, G. E. (2017). Female Gaze Behaviour, Status and the Menstrual Cycle: An Exploratory Study. Human Ethology, 32(1), 29-41. https://doi.org/10.22330/heb/321/029-041

Whilst not explaining all social behaviour and organisation, dominance is nevertheless an important dimension of human social interaction. It has been hypothesized that gaze behaviour reflects the dominance hierarchy of primate groups and several stu...

Female salivary testosterone: the influence of circadian dynamics on sampling strategies in bio-behavioural research (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sharp, M. (2015, September). Female salivary testosterone: the influence of circadian dynamics on sampling strategies in bio-behavioural research. Poster presented at Society for the Study of Human Biology (SSHB), Lisbon, Portugal

Women's biology has been used as a powerful justification for social inequality (Fausto-Sterling, 1992). However, evolutionary arguments suggesting females are unlikely to be equipped biologically for status and dominance remain controversial and unr...
