Sexual selection may offer a possible answer to this long-standing puzzle. Scientists have observed differences in religious behaviours between males and females, responding to mate-evaluation by the opposite sex. Men tend to signal reputation through public religious displays and women tend to signal fidelity through private religious displays. These signals mirror the diverse reproductive challenges of both sexes. associated with. Our experiment manipulates religious ritual intensity in a visual stimuli to examine its effects on mate attractiveness assessments.
