Past research with common chimpanzees, Pan troglodytes, and cross-cultural data with human beings suggest that relative to females, males prefer group over individual interaction. The present study tested whether this sex difference would be found in 6-8-month-old human infants using a preferential looking paradigm. Results showed that relative to females, males looked more at the group versus the individual stimuli. The results are consistent with an evolutionary mechanism that produced sex differences in the organization of relationships in human society. (C) 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
