  • Interpersonal leverage

    Open AccessJoseph Billingsley, Danielle Goldwert et al.ARTICLEEvolution and Human Behavior2025Cited by: 1References: 27

    Social emotions such an anger and gratitude evolved to help people navigate the adaptive problems posed by social interactions. Building on the logic of the recalibrational theory of anger, we argue that a systematically inverted relationship exists between the triggering conditions, inputs, outputs, and consequences of anger and gratitude, and we introduce the novel hypothesis that this inverted relationship between anger and gratitude extends t…

  • Experimental evidence that people consider transgressors' exploitation risk when deciding to forgive

    Open AccessDaniel E Forster, Jeni L Burnette et al.ARTICLEEvolution and Human Behavior2025References: 29

    On an adaptationist view of forgiveness, people's decisions to forgive transgressors are coordinated by a psychological system that estimates (a) the likely benefits of a restored relationship with the transgressor (called relationship value) and (b) the risk that the transgressor will impose additional harm in the future (called exploitation risk). Correlational evidence supports these claims, but experimental evidence is limited. Here, we used …

  • Perceptions of relationship value and exploitation risk mediate the effects of transgressors' post-harm communications upon forgiveness

    Open AccessJoseph Billingsley, Daniel E Forster et al.ARTICLEEvolution and Human Behavior2023

    Principles of adaptive design suggest that the decision-making systems tasked with regulating a victim's behavior in the wake of interpersonal harm should modulate forgiveness based at least in part on perceptions of the transgressor's relationship value and exploitation risk. We extended this framework with three experiments that tested whether conciliatory and antagonistic gestures influence forgiveness by altering these perceptions. We used an…

  • Forgiveness takes place on an attitudinal continuum from hostility to friendliness

    Daniel E Forster, Joseph Billingsley et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…2020Cited by: 4

    Researchers commonly conceptualize forgiveness as a rich complex of psychological changes involving attitudes, emotions, and behaviors. Psychometric work with the measures developed to capture this conceptual richness, however, often points to a simpler picture of the psychological dimensions in which forgiveness takes place. In an effort to better unite forgiveness theory and measurement, we evaluate several psychometric models for common measur…

  • Coresidence duration and cues of maternal investment regulate sibling altruism across cultures

    D Sznycer, Delphine De Smet et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…2016Cited by: 4

    Genetic relatedness is a fundamental determinant of social behavior across species. Over the last few decades, researchers have been investigating the proximate psychological mechanisms that enable humans to assess their genetic relatedness to others. Much of this work has focused on identifying cues that predicted relatedness in ancestral environments and examining how they regulate kin-directed behaviors. Despite progress, many basic questions …

  • Disgust

    Joshua M Tybur, D Lieberman et al.ARTICLEPsychological Review2013

    Interest in and research on disgust has surged over the past few decades. The field, however, still lacks a coherent theoretical framework for understanding the evolved function or functions of disgust. Here we present such a framework, emphasizing 2 levels of analysis: that of evolved function and that of information processing. Although there is widespread agreement that disgust evolved to motivate the avoidance of contact with disease-causing …

    Joshua M Tybur, D Lieberman et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…2009Cited by: 74

    What is the function of disgust? Whereas traditional models have suggested that disgust serves to protect the self or neutralize reminders of our animal nature, an evolutionary perspective suggests that disgust functions to solve 3 qualitatively different adaptive problems related to pathogen avoidance, mate choice, and social interaction. The authors investigated this 3-domain model of disgust across 4 studies and examined how sensitivity to the…

  • The family of fundamental social categories includes kinship

    Open AccessD Lieberman, Robert Oum et al.ARTICLEEuropean Journal of Social…2008Cited by: 9References: 51

    Kinship is a fundamental component of human sociality influencing a range of behaviors including altruism, aggression, and mating. Though a central focus in psychology's neighboring disciplines, kinship has been largely neglected within psychology. An illustrative example – and the focus here – is research on social categorization. Researchers investigating the categories into which our mind carves the social world have focused primarily on sex, …
