SUMMARY:Ben Karney - Gender Differences in the Importance of Attractiveness and Weight in Established Romantic Relationships
DESCRIPTION:Ben Karney: University of California\, Los AngelesAmong strangers\, no variable has as much power to predict interpersonal judgments as physical appearance. In particular\, more physically attractive people are judged as more desirable romantic partners\, and generally males have been found to be more affected by a partner’s physical appearance than females. But does physical appearance continue to play a role in established relationships?  We addressed this question across several studies of the early years of marriage.  Drawing upon observational data on newlywed’s marital interactions\, and longitudinal data on the trajectory of their marital satisfaction over time\, these studies examined how the facial attractiveness of each partner (as rated by objective observers) and the body mass index (BMI) of each partner accounted for relationship processes and outcomes. In general\, these results suggest that\, in established relationships\, the absolute level of each partner’s attractiveness matters less than the relative attractiveness of partners within the couple.  Moreover\, we observe consistent gender differences\, such that outcomes are more favorable in couples wherein wives are more attractive than their husbands\, and less favorable in couples wherein husbands are more attractive than their wives.

SUMMARY:John Capitanio - Personality in rhesus monkeys: Some proximate\, ultimate\, and practical considerations.
DESCRIPTION:John Capitanio: University of California\, DavisThere has been a growing interest in the study of animal personality\, and nonhuman primate research has played a significant role in this field for many decades.  My research program has focused on the causes and consequences of variation in personality dimensions in rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta).  In this talk\, I will focus on recent and current studies of prenatal and early postnatal influences on personality\, some physiological mechanisms by which personality is associated with health outcomes\, and implications of variation in personality for fitness-related outcomes\, as well as for outcomes associated with management of captive primate colonies.

SUMMARY:Lynn Fairbanks - Developmental Programming and Resilience in Vervet Monkeys
DESCRIPTION:Lynn Fairbanks: UCLAThere has been considerable interest in gestational and neonatal influences on developmental trajectories in humans and other mammals in recent years. This presentation reviews results from the Vervet Research Colony demonstrating effects of maternal condition\, diet and weight loss on maternal and infant behavior. To understand the impact of variation in maternal investment on development\, it is important to recognize that infants are not simply the passive recipients of variation in maternal care. Mothers and infants adjust their behavior in relationship to one another\, with the mother responding to her own condition\, and the infant trying to counteract attempts to limit maternal care.\n	Longitudinal effects of maternal condition on juvenile behavior are then examined from contrasting theoretical perspectives\, including developmental canalization\, fetal programming\, resilience\, and stress inoculation theories. Results suggest that behavioral development is largely resilient to developmental challenges within an expectable range of experience. They provide support for stress inoculation theory in that juveniles who experienced higher levels of early maternal rejection as infants became more active promoters of their own social development\, while the inhibitory effects of adverse early experience on juvenile behavior were more evident under novel and challenging circumstances. The results are consistent with the view that infant and juvenile behavior evolved in the context of variation in maternal care\, and selection has favored strategies for immature offspring to get what they need for physical and social development.
