Dolling-up under disease threats: Do pathogen threats motivate attractiveness signaling?

Under high pathogen threat, it is adaptive for humans to find mates with high immunocompetence. Supporting this, research shows that pathogen cues increase humans’ preference for physical attractiveness—an indicator of a well-functioning immune system—among their potential mates. Building on this literature, we examined whether exposure to videos depicting pathogens (vs. a control video of nature scenery) triggers the desire to signal one’s physical attractiveness. We tested this prediction in four experiments, including two well-powered preregistered ones. In Experiment 1, we examined how pathogen cues influenced the desire for cosmetic surgery and the amount of time and money participants are willing to spend on improving their attractiveness. In Experiment 2, we measured willingness to exercise to improve attractiveness and the importance of appearing attractive to the opposite sex. In Experiment 3, participants were asked to write a self-introduction for a hypothetical dating app, which was coded in terms of the extent to which they highlighted their physical attractiveness. Finally, in Experiment 4, we examined how participants prioritized the signaling of their physical attractiveness to a potential date relative to other traits in a budget allocation task. Contrary to our hypothesis, pathogen threats did not increase the motivation to signal attractiveness across all measures, except in terms of willingness to exercise for aesthetic reasons. In summary, while pathogen threats promote a preference for attractiveness in mate-seeking, they do not immediately increase the motivation to signal attractiveness to potential mates

The primary aim of this study was to determine whether perceptions of criminal sanctioning and school punishment predict students' willingness to report different types of bullying (material, physical, sexual, verbal, relational, and cyberbullying). An online survey was conducted with secondary school students (n = 1092) as participants. Traditionally included predictors (trust toward school staff, cost of reporting bullying, gender, and school agency) were also incorporated into a multiple linear regression analysis. The perception of criminal sanctioning for a particular type of bullying was a significant predictor of the willingness to report a given type of bullying, whereas anticipation of school punishment was relevant only in the case of cyberbullying. Trust toward school staff and gender were also significant predictors of willingness to report any type of bullying. School agency helped predict the willingness to report any kind of bullying except cyberbullying. Surprisingly, the costs of reporting bullying were relevant only in the case of material bullying. These results have important implications for stakeholders and school administration in identifying unreported bullying, developing and implementing anti-bullying policies, and introducing programs aimed at improving students' legal awareness.

One of the main issues related to the protection of monuments is the matter of including a given property in the land register. This is because making an entry affects the rights and obligations of owners or perpetual usufructuaries, specifying their rights, whereby the applicable provisions of the Act on the protection of and care for monuments of 23 July 2003 do not provide for a procedure in which directly interested persons would have the ability to actively participate in proceedings ending with an entry. In the legal situation established by the ruling of the Constitutional Tribunal of 11 May 2023, P 12/18, it should have been accepted that the lack of this procedure constitutes a breach of constitutional principles, including the protection of ownership rights and the principle of proportionality. However, this ruling updated the problem regarding the verification of entries that have already been made. In the ruling under review, the Supreme Administrative Court took the stance that entry into the register of monuments should be treated as an act or activity in the meaning of Article 3 § 2, item 4 of the Law on proceedings before administrative courts of 30 August 2002, which may be contested by the owner or perpetual usufructuary of the real property before an administrative court. It simultaneously pointed out that a defect in the procedure regarding the entry into the register itself always prejudges that the entry into the register is ineffective. This means that the administrative courts held that formal issues – in the form of the lack of appropriate procedure – disqualify the entry into the register, which should be considered a correct action serving the purpose of protecting individual rights.

Subversive Triviality: John Ashbery’s and James Schuyler’s "A Nest of Ninnies"
Wiśniewski, Mikołaj
In a recent study, Christopher Schmidt has analyzed an aspect of James Schuler’s poetry, which he calls “dark camp:” the reevaluation of “waste,” both in the sense of linguistic material which the poet incorporates into his work (phrases gleaned from advertising or the media), and the subject matter which he focuses on (“material detritus:” trashy, kitschy, unpoetic stuff). Schuyler’s “poetics of waste” is a camp strategy of affirming his queer identity. In this essay I argue that the 1968 novel which Schuyler coauthored with John Ashbery, A Nest of Ninnies, can be seen along very similar lines. Nest is commonly viewed as a satire or a comedy of manners. However, I take issue with this characterization and suggest that Nest should first and foremost be seen as classic literary camp, albeit not “dark,” but defiantly and jubilantly bright. I first discuss the early reaction of the novel’s reviewers, then point out the hidden queer themes in the story (which only W. H. Auden, it seems, discerned), and finally I apply Schmidt’s terms to Nest to show how it subversively challenges the bourgeois notion of seriousness in art and, connected to it, assumptions about gender and “normalcy.” The idea to write a novel together occurred to James Schuyler and John Ashbery when they were sitting in the back seat of a car taking them back to New York from East Hampton where they had spent the weekend at John Latouche’s. They did not know the people they were traveling with very well, and so the conversation was hard going. After a while, bored with the sights of the small towns they were passing through (or perhaps inspired by them), Schuyler proposed: “Why don’t we write a novel?” and when Ashbery asked how exactly he imagined doing this, his friend replied: “It’s easy – you write the first line.” Alluding to the opening sentence of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Ashbery began with: “Alice was tired.”Footnote1 Schuyler took up the challenge and no doubt recognized the allusion, for in the novel’s first scene he placed Alice in front of a mirror: „Languid, fretful, she turned to stare into her own eyes in the mirror above the mantelpiece before she spoke.”Footnote2 Back in New York, the poets continued playing this literary dominoes in their spare time, adding alternately a sentence each. This lasted three years: from July 1952 until 1955 when Ashbery received a Fulbright scholarship and went to France where he was to spend the next ten years. Attempts to continue writing the novel in tandem via mail failed; the project was discontinued – for good, it seemed. However, when Ashbery returned to New York at the end of 1965, he was already a renowned poet (having received the Yale Younger Poets award for Some Trees) and cooperated with Holt & Co. whose editor, Arthur Cohen, expressed interest in Ashbery’s and Schuyler’s unfinished project. The two thus resumed work on the novel, although they slightly changed their method, adding whole paragraphs or parts of chapters, instead of individual sentences. The book was published in early 1968.
