Predictors of enhancing human physical attractiveness: Data from 93 countries
People across the world and throughout history have gone to great lengths to enhance their physical appearance. Evolutionary psychologists and ethologists have largely attempted to explain this phenomenon via mating preferences and strategies. Here, we test one of the most popular evolutionary hypotheses for beauty-enhancing behaviors, drawn from mating market and parasite stress perspectives, in a large cross-cultural sample. We also test hypotheses drawn from other influential and non-mutually exclusive theoretical frameworks, from biosocial role theory to a cultural media perspective. Survey data from 93,158 human participants across 93 countries provide evidence that behaviors such as a…

Frarådningsplikten: Til bankens eller forbrukerens beste?
Accepted version of authors article. Also available from the publisher: http://www.idunn.no/ts/pof/2013/04/fraraadingsplikten_til_bankens_eller_forbrukerens_beste?highlight=#highlight Frarådingsplikten overfor låntakere er fastsatt i finansavtaleloven § 47. Hovedformålet med bestemmelsen er å forhindre uheldige låneopptak – lovgiver vil verne forbrukere fra for store låneopptak og økonomisk utsatthet. I denne artikkelen viser vi gjennom intervjuer med kredittrådgivere og praksis fra Finansklagenemnda at frarådingsplikten kan ha flyttet risiko for uheldige låneopptak lenger over på forbrukeren. Slik frarådingsplikten praktiseres, ser den ut til å beskytte banken mer enn forbrukeren.
