I’m so glad evolutionary psychologists aren’t impeded by any ideologies. #sarcasmhttps://twitter.com/ResearchDigest/status/1067360574118465536 …

Indeed! Can we PLEASE do away with the term evolutionary psychologist! The rest of us aren’t creationists. We just don’t subscribe to the dogma of that type of work and theorizing. You know, the type where we have to guess what was going on around those savannah campfires....
Yet it's sad that you don't understand evolutionary psychology any better than a creationist would.

have y'all read the actual paper? The questions asked are horribly worded such that its hard to know how to answer them. Plus my reading of the paper failed to show much evidence of ideological bias on behalf of the small % of social psychologists completing the survey.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

but David that is a lame, superficial description of a sophisticated field of study. I suspect you know that many of your areas of study (e.g., moral emotions, self-regulation) have been heavily influenced by evolutionary theory and research - Exhibit A: http://bit.ly/2DRfxO3

This is a good paper, but again the idea that gratitude evolved as a mechanism for upstream reciprocity makes little sense. All emotions bleed over into biasing decisions for which they are incidental. It's the Schwarz and Clore misattribution effect.

Really? All I'm saying is that "evolutionary psychology" is not different than what we all do. We all ground our theories in the evolution of mind. So, yes, I completely agree with the idea that moral emotions likely have an evolutionary basis, just like most everything else.

But no one view of evolution is necessarily correct. That is, ideas from "evolutionary psychology" aren't any more privileged in an evolutionary framework than other ideas that derive from considerations of adaptiveness. What we know about our prehistory is changing rapidly.
