Getting you thinking: Discuss how the evolutionary approach to aggression could be evaluated. Extension: How do you think the evolutionary approach compares to the biological and social psychological approach in terms of accuracy?

Evolutionary explanations of human aggression, including infidelity and jealousy

Learning objectives : By the end of this lesson you will be able; To use research to evaluate the evolutionary explanation of human aggression. To apply understanding of the evolutionary explanation.

Starter (15 minutes) Read through the hand out and write out your AO2/3 points using the instructions on the hand out. A02/3 points: 1)Research 2)AID (gender bias) 3)Conflicting social psychological explanation 4)AID (free will vs. determinism) 5)Practical applications A02/3 points: 1)Research 2)AID (gender bias) 3)Conflicting social psychological explanation 4)AID (free will vs. determinism) 5)Practical applications

Feedback Research supporting a link between evolution and aggression: Lee (1979) Vandermeersch and Leveque (2002) Research supporting a link between infidelity and jealousy and evolution: Daly and Wilson (1982) Research supporting a link between mate retention strategies and aggression: Shackelford et al (2005) Conflicting research: Buss and Shackelford (1997) Conflicting research: Buss and Shackelford (1997) Issues with research into evolution and aggression..

Feedback 1)An issue with the evolutionary explanation for aggression is that it is gender bias. 2)This is because… 3)The implications of this are … 4)This is an issue for the evolutionary approach because… 5)We need to consider that women can be aggressive and the reasons for this. 6)For example Felson (1997)….link to mate retention strategies. 7)This is an issue with the explanation because… 8)In conclusion…does the approach seem accurate in its view of gender and aggression? Why?

Feedback 1)A conflicting Social Psychological explanation is….. 2)This is because this explanation suggests..… 3)This is supported from research by…. 4)This is an issue for the evolutionary approach because… 5)HOWEVER it could be argued that the evolutionary approach is more valid. 6)This is because….use a supporting study from your text book. 7)This gives strength to the evolutionary approach.. 8)In conclusion…which approach seems to be the most valid for aggression? Why?

Feedback 1)A relevant debate it free will vs. determinism. 2)The evolutionary approach is deterministic because… 3)The implications for this on the legal system…. 4)This is an issue for the evolutionary approach because… 5)HOWEVER despite supporting research, we cannot ignore the role free will plays in aggression. 6)Buss and Shackelford suggest…. 7)This is an issue with the evolutionary approach.. 8)In conclusion…is it sensible to just rely on one explanation? Explain.

Feedback 1)Practical applications can arise from the evolutionary approach. 2)For example..…interventions? Relationship counselling? 3)The implications of this are…. 4)This is a positive of the evolutionary approach because… 5)HOWEVER if the evolutionary approach is correct then counselling may not be successful. 6)This is because…. 7) This gives strength to the evolutionary approach.. 8)In conclusion…can practical applications really be effective? Why?

Apply your understanding Work in pairs/small group and apply your understanding of the evolutionary approach to one of the following: Extension: Design your own piece of research to investigate aggression from an evolutionary perspective. A role play of a counselling session to reduce infidelity/jealousy. An agony aunt letter and response about jealousy/infidelity. Defence for the murder of a cheating spouse. OR come up with one of your own! A role play of a counselling session to reduce infidelity/jealousy. An agony aunt letter and response about jealousy/infidelity. Defence for the murder of a cheating spouse. OR come up with one of your own! You will have to feedback to the class.

Learning objectives : You are now able; To use research to evaluate the evolutionary explanation of human aggression. To apply understanding of the evolutionary explanation

Homework Due in next lesson: Complete summary questions 1 and 2 on page 142 of your textbook. Preparation for next lesson: Think of examples of where in sport and/or war you have seen group displays of aggression.
