When hormones are used to track women's cycles, no cycle shifts in mate preferences are found: "La donna è mobile? Lack of cyclical shifts in facial symmetry, and facial and body masculinity preferences—A hormone based study" https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0306453017308703 …

Unsurprisingly, the results we replicate are the ones with measured hormones and decent Ns (e.g. results reported by Puts and colleagues and Roney and colleagues).
I have no issues with the claims being wrong. I was just wondering if you have done a simple test-retest (within a few hours) study on some subsample to establish reliability? Some time ago, I looked for a such study in these hormone studies, never found it.

They are mostly longitudinal analyses, with samples taken at the time of behavioral testing. Test-retest of homrone levels is good (lowest for cortisol, as you’d expect from the lit)
-
I’m a bit surprised you couldn’t find test retest data for hormone measures though. There are lots of studies published on it (eg one looking at how they change over the day, cycle, following different types of tasks, including control tasks, etc).

Care to link to a few? What's the re-test correlations like?
-
Even with a fourteen day gap between women’s test sessions you get r values of .78 (T), .73 (C) and .32 (P). These don’t control for cycle phase - when they do the r for P is much higher. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0031938409003205?via=ihub …

When we took multiple samples from within one test session, correlations between samples for E, P and T were all >.9.

Thanks. :-)

(Those figures are for samples collected via passive drool. Other methods seem less reliable.)
