Response to comment on “Chemosignalling effects of human tears revisited : Does exposure to female tears decrease males’ perception of female sexual attractiveness?”

Sobel criticises our work using the following main arguments: (i) he emphasises the importance of the same experimental context as in the original study, that is, “the sad context”, and he stresses the numerous design and procedural differences of Gelstein and Gračanin ; (ii) The effect observed by Gelstein can also be found when re-analysing subsets of Gračanin’s data. Our response to Sobel’s comment first addresses theory and the role of replications in science, then continues with addressing Sobel’s two main arguments, and ends with our conclusion. Sobel’s critique of our work does not provide any convincing reasons to change this conclusion.
