We are interested in examining broad ecological and cultural factors influencing interpersonal sexual attitudes and behaviors.

We are interested in examining broad ecological and cultural factors influencing interpersonal sexual attitudes and behaviors, such as sex ratio differences, resource ecologies, and/or disease ecologies, and their impact on perceptions of power in sexual relationships, condom use, and the trade-offs made in sexual decision making. For example, when diseases are prevalent, are people less likely to have sex?
