Tinbergen's Levels of Analysis
|
1. Mechanistic: reasons for why things happen based on emotions and mechanisms provoked
2. Ontogenetic: based on development 3. Adaptive: mechanisms in the social world over time that become norms (environmental factors that shape behavior) 4. Phylogenetic: We are all humans from the same biological track |
|
|
Major Histocompatability Complex
|
MHC is a group of proteins responsible for detecting disease; it is good to have a wide range of MHC, so when attracting a male girls look for opposite MHC profiles.This can be reversed during pregnancy or when a girl goes on birth control
|

|
Culture of Honor using Levels of Analysis
|
Ontogenetic causes for COH:
-Fathers in the south were more likely to tell their boy to beat up a bully Reasons for COH: -Once insults are invoked, SOutherners will hold on to these sentiments for a longer amount of time |
|
|
Cortisol
|
Cortisol levels indicate the amount of stress in an individual. In the Culture of Honor experiment, cortisol levels increased when Southerners were insulted
|
|
|
Naturalistic Fallacy
|
Just because things exist, does not mean it's the way things should be
|
|
|
Casual inference
|
A-->B
|
|
|
Correlational research
|
When the subjects in the study manipulate what happens (they set the conditions). This would be a longitudinal study, because it is conducted over a long period of time
|
|
|
Statistical significance (descriptive vs inferential)
|
Descriptive: You explain the findings
Inferential: Why did these findings result? |
|
|
Factors that influence statistically significant results
|
Magnitude=the difference between the two sample groups (bigger magnitude=better)
Variability=the varying results within one group that could change the statistics if there is one outlier or extreme Sample size=need to have enough people in your group for the study to prove a causal relationship |
|
|
Magnitude vs significance
|
Magnitude refers to the difference between the two subject groups and the significance refers to the difference between the two error bars
-In a good study, there will be a large magnitude and a large significance |
|
|
How experiments go wrong
|
1. File Drawer effect-->people only publish the correct study making everything else false
2. Fraud 3. Experimental design flaw 4. Bias within either participants or experimenter |
|
|
Construals
|
How individuals perceive and comprehend social behavior or action of others towards themselves
|
|
|
Emotions
|
Brief motivational systems that lead to actions
|
|
|
Emotional Process
|
Primary appraisal stage: quick automatic judgements based on previous goals
Secondary appraisal stage: More fully evaluate the event, leading to more intense emotions |
|
|
Darwin's principle of serviceable habits
|
Emotions are remnants of behaviors that helped our predecessors meet important goals. Therefore, they should be the same across cultures, which is TRUE!
Examples: 1. People can point to the same facial expression across cultures when primed with a social situation 2. Duchenne smile occurs in blind runners suggesting that there is such thing as an innate emotion (because they could not have learned this from social background) |
|
|
Emotion accents
|
Some emotions are displayed differently across cultures
ie: indians bite their lip when they are embarrassed |
|
|
Focal emotions
|
Some cultures emphasize emotions and therefore have many ways to say it
|
|
|
Affect valuation theory
|
Emotions that promote certain cultural values are more prominent. Display rules indicate how and when to use emotion (ie in poker you are supposed to deemphasize excitement)
|
|
|
Functional properties of emotion
|
withdraw-->approach, allowing us to place emotion on a wider spectrum
|
|
|
Parasympathetic vs sympathetic
|
sympathetic: fight or flight
-the amygdala is the key component of fight/flight response parasympathetic: rest and digest |
|
|
The way emotions affect our reasoning
|
Feelings-as-information perspective
-This has an effect on moral judgement and can lead to emotion misattribution Processing style: -positive emotions-->creativity and inclusion |
|
|
Emoticons
|
The way people express behavior has to do with the emotion (ie surprised reaction=open mouth to increase oxygen intake for whatever is coming next)
|
|
|
Why we communicate
|
Behavior modification
-babies cry so that mom will feed it -rhesus monkeys can recognize a harmful spider based on watching others' emotions towards said object (they cannot do this with a flower!) Deception: false communication for selfish gain Formation and maintenance of relationships -Touching-->rewards, soothes pain -mimicry-->increases likeness |
|
|
Exaptation
|
Overtime things that developed for one reason are now used for another reason
|
|
|
Oxytocin
|
Love, trust
|
