About
My research interests include evolutionary and cross-cultural approaches to understanding personal relationships, sexual strategies, romantic attachment styles, and gender differences in human mating. I am also interested in the "Big Five" model of personality traits, risk factors for HIV/AIDS, and predictors of both sexual aggression and intimate partner violence across cultures.
I am Founding Director of the International Sexuality Description Project (ISDP; Schmitt et al., 2003), a cross-cultural survey study that included samples from 56 nations representing 6 continents, 13 islands, and 28 languages. I am currently completing the second wave of the ISDP (the ISDP-2). If you are interested in finding out more about the ISDP, please contact me at Bradley University (dps@bradley.edu).
