1. Evolutionaire psychologie
1.1. Altruïsme en natuurlijke selectie
1.1.1. Natural selection and behavior
Evolutionary psychology investigates the evolutionary origin of behavior and consequences for
current psychological mechanisms.
Darwin (1859): “The Origin of Species”
o Selection in nature occurs because some organisms survive better and reproduce
better in a certain environment
o better fitness (= transferring next-generation genes)
Fitness= better FIT in die generatie plus het beter doorgeven van genen
o better adaptation to environment
Primary interest: evolution of physical features
Modern Darwinians:
o Primary interest: evolution of behavior (e.g., altruistic behavior)
o Evolutionary perspective on human nature:
Universal characteristics: These successful characteristics provide such an
evolutionary advantage, that they spread throughout the population and
become typical for all mankind
Bijvoorbeeld bipedalism: mensen beginnen met twee voeten te
lopen omdat het zo’n advantage is (je kan alles zien, je kan goed
bewegen etc) en zo werd het typical voor de hele bevolking
Ook universal psychological features/characteristics vallen hieronder
(bijvoorbeeld altruïstisch gedrag)
1.1.2. Altruïstic behavior
Altruistic behavior = helping others although it may be detrimental to your own fitness
Natural selection = seemingly selfish process
How to explain this?
o The universal need to belong. ( Ze willen bij de groep horen en niet uit de toon
vallen)
