Question

the “good genes hypothesis” proposes that people with physical qualities like averageness, symmetry, sex prototypicality, and youthfulness are more attractive because they are better-quality mates. the “good genes hypothesis” is from which approach to psychology?: 1) evolutionary 2) psychodynamic 3) cognitive 4) biological

Answer 1

The correct answer is 1) Evolutionary

Step-by-step explanation:

The "good genes hypothesis" argues traits of the opposite sex that are considered as positive or attractive reflect evolutionary traits and therefore are indicators of a better-quality mate. Indeed, this theory argues attraction is connected to better chances of survival or better chances to reproduce. This belongs to the evolutionary approach in psychology because these "attractive" traits are the result of evolution because only the "fittest" individuals reproduce and their genes prevail over time.
