Evolutionary Psychology: The purposes of this assignment post are to: (1) Understand what evolutionary psychology is, (2) Use evolutionary psychology to make predictions, (3) Discuss the accuracy of your predictions using evolutionary psychology with others, and (4) Share any thoughts you have about this sometimes controversial theory
Be sure to watch the Chapter 5 Video before doing this assignment. Note that the chart referred to right when I begin talking about evolutionary psychology is not in the 13th edition, so don’t worry about it.
Read the section in Chapter 5 in the Myers and DeWall textbook called “How We Are Influenced By Biology:
AFTER watching the video and reading the book, explain what evolutionary psychology is. Explain it as you would to someone completely unfamiliar with the theory.
Complete the worksheet below by indicating the answers that evolutionary psychologists would predict. https://stscholastica.brightspace.com/content/enforced/8967-202090-PSY3327-700-20SU-70312-M/csfiles/home_dir/Unit%203/Unit%203%20Discussion%20-%20Evolutionary%20Psychology.pdf?_&d2lSessionVal=iMm5tjXOOhOivDWlfph5aNClB
Notice that there is one answer you should choose in each row except for #4, where you should choose 3. Note that 6a, 6b, and 6c are separate items as are 7a and 7b.
For each item, indicate why, from the perspective of evolutionary psychologists, you believe your prediction is correct.
What do you think about the theory of evolutionary psychology? Please give an informed opinion based on the video and the textbook.
