Hell of a theory.

The Behavioral and brain sciences

Krueger JI.
PMID: 26948734
Behav Brain Sci. 2016 Jan;39:e17. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X15000473.

The theory of group-selected Big God religions is a master narrative of cultural evolution. The evidence is a positive manifold of correlated assumptions and variables. Although provocative, the theory is overly elastic. Its critical ingredient - belief in Big...

It may be harder than we thought, but political diversity will (still) improve social psychological science.

The Behavioral and brain sciences

Crawford JT, Duarte JL, Haidt J, Jussim L, Stern C, Tetlock PE.
PMID: 26816000
Behav Brain Sci. 2015;38:e164. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X15000035.

In our target article, we made four claims: (1) Social psychology is now politically homogeneous; (2) this homogeneity sometimes harms the science; (3) increasing political diversity would reduce this damage; and (4) some portion of the homogeneity is due...

How group members contribute to group performance: Evidence from agent-based simulations.

The Behavioral and brain sciences

Douven I.
PMID: 28355785
Behav Brain Sci. 2016 Jan;39:e147. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X15001351.

The authors argue that group performance depends on the degree to which group members identify with the group as well as on their degree of differentiation. In this commentary, I discuss results from agent-based simulations, suggesting that group performance...

Differentiated selves help only when identification is strong and tasks are complex.

The Behavioral and brain sciences

Nijstad BA, De Dreu CK.
PMID: 28355795
Behav Brain Sci. 2016 Jan;39:e160. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X1500148X.

Whereas differentiation is overestimated - it more often hurts than helps group performance - identification is underestimated. A more viable perspective sees identification and cooperative motivation as the sine qua non of group functioning, with differentiation helping in a...

Suboptimality in perceptual decision making.

The Behavioral and brain sciences

Rahnev D, Denison RN.
PMID: 29485020
Behav Brain Sci. 2018 Feb 27;41:e223. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X18000936.

Human perceptual decisions are often described as optimal. Critics of this view have argued that claims of optimality are overly flexible and lack explanatory power. Meanwhile, advocates for optimality have countered that such criticisms single out a few selected...

A psychobiological theory of attachment.

The Behavioral and brain sciences

Kraemer GW.
PMID: 24924028
Behav Brain Sci. 1992 Sep;15(3):493-511. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X00069752.

This article describes a neurobiological basis for the "first attachment" of the primate infant to its caretaker. The infant normally internalizes a neurobiological "image" of the behavioral and emotional characteristics of its caregiver that later regulates important features of...

Précis of Social Perception and Social Reality: Why accuracy dominates bias and self-fulfilling prophecy.

The Behavioral and brain sciences

Jussim L.
PMID: 26079679
Behav Brain Sci. 2017 Jan;40:e1. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X1500062X. Epub 2015 Jun 16.

Social Perception and Social Reality (Jussim 2012) reviews the evidence in social psychology and related fields and reaches three conclusions: (1) Although errors, biases, and self-fulfilling prophecies in person perception are real, reliable, and occasionally quite powerful, on average,...

Learning in and about opaque worlds.

The Behavioral and brain sciences

Tatone D, Csibra G.
PMID: 26785815
Behav Brain Sci. 2015;38:e68. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X14000740.

We argue that direct active teaching in humans exhibits at least two properties (open-endedness and content opacity) that make the recognition of teaching episodes without ostension untenable. Thus, while we welcome Kline's functional approach to the analysis of teaching,...
