Abstract

The evolutionary perspective of personality is based on Darwin's (1871) theory of natural selection. Gender differences in short‐ and long‐term mating behaviors (love and romance), human sexual behavior, and mate retention strategies (aggression, jealousy, and parenting) in relation to personality and key theories of explanation are presented, along with an evaluation of and suggestions for future research for the evolutionary perspective of personality.
