这篇文章提出了一种人类攻击性的进化心理学解释。攻击性背后的心理机制被假设为对特定的社会生活适应性问题的上下文敏感的解决方案。报告提出了七个适应性问题,这些问题可能会演变成一种解决方案--拉拢他人的资源、抵御攻击、让同性竞争对手付出代价、谈判地位和权力等级、阻止竞争对手未来的攻击、阻止配偶不忠,以及减少花在基因无关儿童身上的资源。我们概述了人类面临这些适应性问题的几个背景,以及为什么在特定背景下男性在跨文化上比女性更具攻击性的进化逻辑。文章最后对围绕攻击性的七种假设功能的经验证据进行了有限的回顾,并讨论了当前进化心理学解释的现状和局限性。(C)1997年爱思唯尔科学有限公司。
This article proposes an evolutionary psychological account of human aggression. The psychological mechanisms underlying aggression are hypothesized to be context-sensitive solutions to particular adaptive problems of social living. Seven adaptive problems are proposed for which aggression might have evolved as a solution - co-opting the resources of others, defending against attack, inflicting costs on same-sex rivals, negotiating status and power hierarchies, deterring rivals from future aggression, deterring mates from sexual infidelity, and reducing resources expended on genetically unrelated children. We outline several of the contexts in which humans confront these adaptive problems and the evolutionary logic of why men are cross-culturally more violently aggressive than women in particular contexts. The article concludes with a limited review of the empirical evidence surrounding each of the seven hypothesized functions of aggression and discusses the status and limitations of the current evolutionary psychological account.
