Comparing Gender Hierarchy and Evolutionary Psychology Explanations of Workplace Sexual Harassment
Understanding and preventing workplace sexual harassment requires a good scientific explanation. At present, two scientific explanations compete in the literature. According to the gender hierarchy maintenance account, sexual harassment is a mechanism for maintaining workplace gender hierarchies of power and status, while Evolutionary Psychologists posit that sexual harassment is caused by conflicts between evolved, sex-specific mating and reprod…
Classifying Genetic Essentialist Biases using Large Language Models
The rapid rise of generative AI, including LLMs, has prompted a great deal of concern, both within and beyond academia. One of these concerns is that generative models embed, reproduce, and therein potentially perpetuate all manner of bias. The present study offers an alternative perspective: exploring the potential of LLMs to detect bias in human generated text. Our target is genetic essentialism in obesity discourse in Australian print media. W…

Heritability
Interpreting Heritability Causally
A high heritability estimate usually corresponds to a situation in which trait variation is largely caused by genetic variation. However, in some cases of gene-environment covariance, causal intuitions about the sources of trait difference can vary, leading experts to disagree as to how the heritability estimate should be interpreted. We argue that the source of contention for these cases is an inconsistency in the interpretation of the concepts …
