Evolutionary Perspectives on Social Psychology [PDF ebook] 

Wsparcie

This wide-ranging collection demonstrates the continuing impact of evolutionary thinking on social psychology research. This perspective is explored in the larger context of social psychology, which is divisible into several major areas including social cognition, the self, attitudes and attitude change, interpersonal processes, mating and relationships, violence and aggression, health and psychological adjustment, and individual differences. Within these domains, chapters offer evolutionary insights into salient topics such as social identity, prosocial behavior, conformity, feminism, cyberpsychology, and war. Together, these authors make a rigorous argument for the further integration of the two diverse and sometimes conflicting disciplines. 

Among the topics covered: 


  • How social psychology can be more cognitive without being less social.

  • How the self-esteem system functions to resolve important interpersonal dilemmas.

  • Shared interests of social psychology and cultural evolution.

  • The evolution of stereotypes.

  • An adaptive socio-ecological perspective on social competition and bullying.

  • Evolutionary game theory and personality.


Evolutionary Perspectives on Social Psychology has much to offer students and faculty in both fields as well as evolutionary scientists outside of psychology. This volume can be used as a primary text in graduate courses and as a supplementary text in various upper-level undergraduate courses.
