Abstract

Males and females face different reproductive challenges associated with mate-evaluation, which result in sex differences in religious behaviors. Our experiment examines the effect of religious cue intensity on perceived attractiveness. Hypothesis: The larger the religious cue intensity, the more attractive an individual will be perceived by the opposite sex.
