Why do we think about and interact with other people in the
particular ways that we do? Might these thoughts and actions be
contemporary products of our long-ago evolutionary past? If so, how
might this be, and what are the implications? Research generated by
an evolutionary approach to social psychology issues profound
insights into self-concept, impression formation, prejudice, group
dynamics, helping, aggression, social influence, culture, and every
other topic that is fundamental to social psychology. Evolution and
Social Psychology is the first book to review and discuss this
broad range of social psychological phenomena from an evolutionary
perspective. It does so with a critical and constructive eye.
Readers will emerge with a clear sense of the intellectual
challenges, as well as the scientific benefits, of an
evolutionarily-informed social psychology. The world-renowned
contributors identify new questions, new theories, and new
hypotheses-many of which are only now beginning to be tested. Thus,
this book not only summarizes the current status of the field, it
also sets an agenda for the next generation of research on
evolution and social psychology. Evolution and Social Psychology is
essential reading for evolutionary psychologists and social
psychologists alike.
