About this book

Evolutionary Perspectives on Social Psychology informs readers about the potential integration of evolutionary psychology and social psychology. This is an important issue because social psychology deals with a broad range of important psychological concepts (e.g., interpersonal relationships, aggression) and evolutionary psychology can offer an informative perspective on these issues that may allow for a deeper understanding of these important phenomena. This compilation is intended to provide a broad overview of the potential integration of evolutionary concepts into the topics that are often of interest to social psychologists. Contributors provide an in-depth review of their research areas. Evolutionary Perspectives on Social Psychology demonstrates a current overview of how evolutionary theory has been integrated into social psychology research as well as offering a variety of future directions for this integration. Evolutionary Perspectives on Social Psychology intends to offer suggestions for integrating evolutionary psychology (which is a relatively young and exciting perspective within psychology) with social psychology (which is a larger and more established area of psychology).
