Dear Colleagues:
Martie Haselton and I are conducting two different meta-analyses of menstrual cycle effects. The first of these is on fertility cues and the second (in collaboration with two colleagues) is on menstrual cycle effects on mate preferences. We would greatly appreciate your help in locating unpublished data to include in our analyses. The criteria for the two meta-analyses appear in the solicitations below. If possible, we would appreciate it if you would let us know by November 15th if you have data that may be pertinent to either of our analyses (even if you do not yet have a file prepared to send).
Many thanks for your help.

Meta-analysis of fertility cues: Requesting unpublished papers/data on observable changes in women across the menstrual cycle
Dear Colleagues:
Martie Haselton and I aim to conduct a systematic, quantitative review of the literature to address the question of whether there are observable changes in women around the time of ovulation, compared with less fertile days of the cycle. We would greatly appreciate your help in locating unpublished data to include in our analysis. Please email me (kellygildersleeve@gmail.com) with any unpublished manuscripts or data that meet the following criteria:
(1) Study includes a measurement or estimation of menstrual cycle position (e.g., current day in cycle, high/low fertility, follicular/luteal/menstrual) and/or cycle-based conception risk (e.g., probability of conception as estimated from actuarial tables).
(2) Study includes 3rd-party ratings, direct measurements, or self-reports of some physical trait or behavior in women that is potentially observable to others. For example, previous research has examined 3rd-party ratings of women’s body odor attractiveness, vocal attractiveness, facial attractiveness, gait, clothing sexiness, and clothing revealingness; measurements of vocal pitch, skin exposure, breast asymmetry, digit asymmetry, waist-to-hip ratio, receptiveness to courtship solicitations, and tip-earnings; women’s self-reports of grooming and “styling” behavior, interest in socializing with men, risky behavior; etc.
We prefer to be over-inclusive in this early stage of our analysis, so please send us any papers or data that might meet the above criteria. This includes papers in press, dissertation or masters thesis work, student projects, conference presentations (abstracts, papers, posters), etc. Please be assured that we will not use your data for any purposes other than inclusion in our meta-analysis.
If you have any questions, please email me (kellygildersleeve@gmail.com) or Martie Haselton (haselton@ucla.edu).
Thank you in advance for your assistance with this project.
Best,

Meta-analysis: Requesting unpublished manuscripts or data on menstrual cycle effects on women's mate preferences
Dear Colleagues:
Martie Haselton, Wendy Wood, Priyanka Joshi and I are conducting a meta-analysis of menstrual cycle effects on women's mate preferences. We would greatly appreciate your help in locating unpublished data to include in our analysis. Please email me (kellygildersleeve@gmail.com) with any unpublished manuscripts or data that meet the following criteria:
(1) Study includes a measurement or estimation of menstrual cycle position (e.g., current day in cycle, high/low fertility, follicular/luteal/menstrual) and/or cycle-based conception risk (e.g., probability of conception as estimated from actuarial tables).
(2) Study includes a measurement of women's attraction (broadly defined) to some characteristic(s) of a potential mate (this includes both long-term mates, short-term sex partners, or unspecified). For example, previous studies have examined cycle effects on women's preferences for the following mate characteristics: physical attractiveness, facial masculinity, facial symmetry, facial averageness, body masculinity, body symmetry, apparent health, vocal masculinity, scent of masculine men, scent of dominant men, scent of symmetrical men, behavioral dominance, creativity, intelligence, wealth, warmth, etc.
We prefer to be over-inclusive in this early stage of our analysis, so please send us any papers or data that might meet the above criteria. This includes papers in press, dissertation or masters thesis work, student projects, conference presentations (abstracts, papers, posters), etc. Please be assured that we will not use your data for any purposes other than inclusion in our meta-analysis.
