  • An Evolutionary Psychology Perspective on Gift Giving Among
    MAR WILEJ RIGHT BATCH Top of text An Evolutionary Psychology Top of CT Perspective on Gift Giving among Young Adults Gad Saad Concordia University Tripat Gill Case Western Reserve University ABSTRACT With evolutionary psychology used as the theoretical framework, two aspects of gift giving among young adults are investigated: (a) sex differences in motives for giving gifts to a romantic partner, and (b) the allocation of gift expenditures among various relations, including romantic partners, close friends, close kin, and distant kin members. As per the evolved sex differences in mating strategies, it is proposed and found that men report tactical motives for giving gifts to their romantic partners more frequently than women. Also, there are no sex differences in situational motives for giving gifts. In addition, women are aware that men use tactical motives more often; whereas men think that these motives are employed equally by both sexes. With regard to gift expenditures it is found that, for kin members, the amount spent on gifts increases with the genetic relatedness (r value) of the particular kin. When all relations (kin and nonkin members) are included, the allocation of gift expenditures were the highest to romantic partners, followed by those to close kin members and then to close friends. The latter finding is explained via the importance attached to the evolved psychological mechanisms linked to each of the above relations, namely, reproductive fitness (for partners), nonreproductive fitness (for close kin members), and reciprocal altruism (for close friends). ᭧ 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

    IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATION, VOL. 51, NO. 2, JUNE 2008 133 Introduction to Darwinian Perspectives on Electronic Communication —NED KOCK,DONALD A. HANTULA,STEPHEN C. HAYNE,GAD SAAD,PETER M. TODD, AND RICHARD T. W ATSON Abstract—This article provides an introduction to the Special Section on Darwinian Perspectives on Electronic Communication. It starts with a discussion of the motivation for the Special Section, followed by several sections written by the Guest Editor (Ned Kock) and the Guest Associate Editors (Donald Hantula, Stephen Hayne, Gad Saad, Peter Todd, and Richard Watson). In those sections, the Guest Editor and Associate Editors put forth several provocative ideas that hopefully will provide a roadmap for future inquiry in areas related to the main topic of the Special Section. Toward its end, this article provides a discussion on how biological theories of electronic communication can bridge the current gap between technological and social theories. The article concludes with an answer to an intriguing question: Are we as a species currently evolving to become better at using electronic communication technologies? Index Terms—Computer-mediated communication, Darwinian perspectives, electronic communication, evolutionary psychology. this field of investigation is to hypothesize and Evolutionary explanations of human behavior explain the existence of brain mechanisms, often are not new.

  • The Interdisciplinarity of Evolutionary Approaches to Human Behavior: a Key to Survival in the Ivory Archipelago
    Futures 43 (2011) 749–761 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Futures journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/futures The interdisciplinarity of evolutionary approaches to human behavior: A key to survival in the Ivory Archipelago Justin R. Garcia a,b,*, Glenn Geher c, Benjamin Crosier c,d, Gad Saad e, Daniel Gambacorta c, Laura Johnsen c, Elissa Pranckitas c a Departments of Biological Sciences and Anthropology, Binghamton University, USA b Institute for Evolutionary Studies (EvoS), Binghamton University, USA c Psychology Department, SUNY New Paltz, USA d Department of Psychology, University of Florida, USA e Marketing Department, John Molson School of Business, Concordia University, Canada ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Article history: This paper explores the degree of interdisciplinarity of evolutionary approaches to the Available online 25 May 2011 study of human behavior, and the implications that any such interdisciplinarity may have for the future of evolutionary psychology (EP) as a field of scholarship. To gauge the extent of interdisciplinarity of EP, the departmental affiliation of first-authors from 1000 journal articles evenly distributed across ten leading peer-reviewed psychology journals was assessed. Findings show that journals that are evolutionary-based have more first-authors from outside of psychology, and also include a wider variety of represented disciplines. These findings are discussed in terms of their influence on the future of EP, as a model for interdisciplinary research. EP’s future will be successful if it continues to promote interdisciplinarity as well as recognize the epistemological worth of multiple evolutionary paradigms and frameworks. Evolutionary principles have been successfully applied to a broad range of topics, suggesting there is great utility in evolution serving as a common language for interdisciplinary pursuits within the behavioral and social sciences.
