I am currently running an experiment on the effect of altruism on partner preference. Altruistic behaviour are acts that are costly for an individual to perform but are of benifit to others. In particular altruism addresses acts that involve individuals to whom we are unrelated, for instance strangers rather that family members. A good example of altristic behaviour is donating blood.
