   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.  |
