- W4211026579 abstract "Abstract In this chapter we provide an introduction to the field of evolutionary psychology and describe the methodology that evolutionary psychologists use to explain human cognition and behavior. This description begins at the broadest level with a review of basic, guiding assumptions that are consensually held by most evolutionary scientists, including concepts of natural selection, adaptation, sexual selection, and inclusive fitness. Special attention is paid to the question of how to distinguish adaptations from nonadaptations in the biological world. Next, we discuss special metatheoretical assumptions employed by evolutionary psychologists, including the emphasis on psychological mechanisms as the main unit of analysis, domain‐specificity of psychological mechanisms, and the environment of evolutionary adaptedness. We then illustrate how evolutionary psychologists apply these assumptions to develop more specific theoretical models, hypotheses, and predictions that are tested in research. We use examples of sex and mating, including discussion of parental investment theory, and good genes sexual selection theory to demonstrate how evolutionary psychological theories are developed and tested. Specific hypotheses and predictions from good genes sexual selection theory are evaluated. We conclude by discussing potential future directions in evolutionary psychology and its potential impact on psychological inquiry." @default.
