Full Description
This innovative Handbook makes a distinct mark on the field of evolutionary psychology by exploring the influence of evolutionary thinking in all major subfields of psychology, such as social, personality, developmental and clinical psychology and examining the subject's relationship with other social sciences. The Handbook also re-examines classical empirical studies through a retrospective approach.
The Handbook surveys the history and future of evolutionary psychology, with a particular focus on how its politicization has impacted and will continue to impact the field. Satoshi Kanazawa brings together both rising stars and established scholars to cover the topics of child abuse, age-based mate preferences and error management theory, among many others. The contributors also discuss and revisit six key research papers, considering how these might have been shaped differently with the benefit of hindsight and technological advances.
The Handbook of Evolutionary Psychology is a crucial resource for scholars and students of psychology, sociology and the social sciences, particularly those with an interest in evolutionary, social, developmental and cultural psychology. The contributions will also be invaluable to practitioners in the same fields.
