Course description

Why do we seek out certain types of romantic partners? Is there a difference between what a woman wants in a man and what a man wants in a woman when decisions on long-term partners are made? Are the ways that we act when we are in groups influenced by our evolutionary past? These questions, among others, will be addressed in this course. The historical and theoretical foundations of evolutionary social psychology will be examined. Family relationships, how we choose a partner and parent for our children, altruistic and selfish behaviour, and the role that emotions play in our life will all be explored from an evolutionary perspective. There will also be a focus on group processes and social influence.

We update all courses every year, after all this is a big decision. The Cads, Dads and Crowds: Social Psychology from an Evolutionary Perspective (Credit Bearing) (Summer School) course at University Of Sussex was updated on 21 Oct 2009.
