Women’s interest in strong men adapts to environmental cues of potential threat

Summary

Nutrition label

79% Informative

Research published in the Scandinavian Journal of Psychology finds that cues to ambient darkness decrease women’s willingness to engage with physically strong men in dark settings.

Study suggests that in darker environments, perceived strength in men may be more strongly associated with potential threat than with protection or attractiveness.

Study's reliance on edited images to simulate ambient darkness is a potential limitation.
