Abstract:
The aim of this research project is to determine the whether dominance or attractiveness plays a stronger role in mating success in males. This is to be done by utilizing affiliated group members from fraternities, taking various biological measures, self-reports, and group ratings for dominance factors. These individuals would then be rated by associated sorority members for their attractiveness. These results will then be analyzed for their role in mating success.
