Evolutionary Social Cognition
Laboratory Principal Investigator: Mark Schaller
|
|
Our research focuses on fundamental human motivational systems (e.g.,
disease-avoidance, parental care) and their implications for various aspects of
human social cognition and social interaction (e.g., prejudice, conformity). In doing so, we
also explore broader questions about the
influence of human evolutionary history on psychological processes, and about the
impact of these psychological processes on human culture. |
