Research Interests
Evolutionary
social psychology is my main
focus, especially the study of human mental adaptations for judgment,
decision-making, strategic behavior, and communication in social and
sexual domains. This includes work on mutual mate choice and sexual
selection theory, analysis of human mental traits as fitness indicators
(reliable cues of underlying phenotypic traits and genetic quality),
analysis of social attribution heuristics as adapted to the statistical
structure of individual differences (including genetic and phenotypic
covariances), and analysis of animate motion perception mechanisms as
adapted to typical patterns of intentional movement.
Also, consumer behavior: applications of evolutionary psychology in
product design and aesthetics, marketing, advertising, and branding
(book in progress on this topic); use of genetic algorithms for
interactive online product design. Clinical interests: Applications of
fitness indicator theory to understand symptoms, demographics, and
behavior genetics of schizophrenia and mood disorders. Other interests:
origins of human preferences, aesthetics, and utility functions; human
strategic behavior, game theory, and experimental economics; ovulatory
effects on female mate preferences; the intellectual legacies of
Darwin, Nietzsche, and Veblen.
