Opis:
Fear is one of the factors that is most life threatening. it causes psychogenic illness, pro- ducing tension in the mind and in addition, distorting a person’s morals. The ambition of this paper is to outline the evolutionary processes that throughout the history of the human race have influenced the development of human thought, feeling, effect, and therefore fear as well. it further describes fear not just as genetic information, but also as information mediated by the social community and groups, as a phenomenon influenced by cultural environment.

Opis:
The phenomenon of globalization, which is well known in the economy, can nowadays be observed also in the area of science. It is based on the fact that more and more scientific disciplines are applying the same explanatory principle, namely the theory of evolution. Therefore, every development, including that of man, according to the pattern of genetic reproduction, takes place on the basis of natural selection. With psychological properties, mental abilities and social behaviours, which are eloquently referred to as “memes”, it is as with genes: only those that are better, stronger, more capable of surviving will survive after accidental changes and only they will be passed on. In short, reproduction regulates and controls human behaviour. Such a way of thinking and explanation can be found today in many publications on sociobiology and evolutionary psychology. Even if they present many new details, they pay tribute to the old human desire to explain everything in a simple way, according to the same scheme. The same expectation towards science was expressed by E. Haeckel in the 19th century and J. Monod in the 20th century. However, when these two biologists explained man as a whole based on the theory of evolution, they admitted that they referred to philosophy, to which contemporary representatives of sociobiology and evolutionary psychology cannot or do not want to confess.

The aim of the present paper is the analysis of old nicknames which relate to the way in which our ancestors communicated. The subject of the analysis are proprial items, which were formed in order to indicate if the speakers were telling the truth, or whether they were gossiping, or saying too much, as well as items which evaluated a person because of articulatory features. The present paper is also an attempt to propose research into axiologically marked appelative anthroponyms within the methodology of cultural linguistics, complemented with biological contexts, especially research from the field of evolutionary psychology and biological anthropology.

Opis:
The conditions of imprisonment in Polish prisons make it difficult to achieve the goals of penitentiary social rehabilitation. Adaptation to prison conditions, which occurs especially as a result of long-term stay in a closed-type prison, results in disadaptation to the conditions in freedom and usually leads to degradation of the prisoner’s personality. An important reason for this is the unnaturalness of a environment. It is almost totally incompatible with human nature due to its radical difference from the environment in which the human mind evolved. In the article, the authors present an initial evolutionary oriented diagnosis of environmental factors responsible for low effectiveness of penitentiary social rehabilitation. The article contains also suggestions of modifications that may increase the level of its effectiveness.

Opis:
The Action–Trait theory of human motivation posits that individual differences in predispositional traits of action may account for variance in contemporary purposeful human behavior. Prior research has supported the theory, psychometric properties of scales designed to assess the motive dimensions of the theory, and the utility of these scales to predict an array of behaviors, but this is the first study to evaluate the cross-linguistical invariance of the 15-factor theoretical model. This study evaluated translations of the English language 60-item Quick AIM in 5 samples – Croatian (N = 614), French (N = 246), German (N = 154), Polish (M = 314), and U.S. English (N = 490) – recruited from 4 countries (Croatia, Poland, Switzerland, and the U.S.). Exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) supported the theoretical model on which the traits of action are based and scrutinized the measurement invariance (configural, metric, scalar invariance) of the scale across the languages.

Opis:
While the research literature is replete with studies focusing on the developmental factors that affect self-esteem, little attention has been paid to the source or functions of the self-esteem motive itself. The present paper aims at exploring some ways in which an evolutionary-developmental-psychological (EDP) perspective can explain the adaptive nature of self-esteem. This paper attempts to address some important issues that are the focus of evolutionary psychology, including, possible evolutionary functions of self-esteem, by focusing on two theories namely, the Terror Management Theory (TMT) and the Sociometer Theory. Additionally, this review also attempts to identify some of the links between self-esteem and social relationships using an evolutionary-developmental-psychological (EDP) framework.

Motywacja: Coraz częściej zwraca się uwagę na to, że stosunki gospodarcze wpływają na sposób kształtowania się relacji społecznych, m.in. poprzez występowanie zjawiska strategicznego dobierania znajomych, aby uzyskać przewagę na rynku pracy, co prowadzi do erozji relacji międzyludzkich. Cel: Celem artykułu jest weryfikacja empiryczna teorii tłumaczących liczebność znajomych, których posiadają jednostki. Ma to służyć sprawdzeniu czy faktycznie czynniki ekonomiczne można uznać za istotne w kształtowaniu się rozmiarów sieci społecznych oraz czy można obwiniać system gospodarczy za postępującą atomizację społeczeństwa. Materiały i metody: W artykule użyto metody ekonometryczne dla zmiennych licznikowych, stosowane na mikrodanych. W szczególności zastosowano regresję ujemną dwumianową z logarytmiczną funkcją łączącą. Wyniki: Wykazano brak istotnego wpływu czynników ekonomiczno-społecznych na kształtowanie się rozmiaru grup społecznych. Wyniki wskazują z kolei na istotny wpływ czynników ewolucyjnych i zwykłej częstotliwości wchodzenia w interakcje z ludźmi.
Motivation: Increasingly noted phenomenon is the impact of economics on social relations, for example due to existence of strategic networking between individuals, to gain advantage at labour market. It is believed to lead to erosion of interpersonal relations. Aim: The aim of the article was empirical verification of main theories concerning the size of social networks of individuals. It is to the point of verification whether economic factors influence construction of the social networks of individuals, and whether we are justified in blaming the economic system for progressing atomization of society. Materials and methods: For verification of theories, the econometric methods for count data, used on microdata were applied. More specifically, a negative binomial regression with a logarithmic link function was used. Results: There was no significant impact of socioeconomic factors on size of social groups. The results imply instead significant impact of evolutionary and chance factors.

Opis:
Trivers (1974) argued that offspring demand much more parental investment than parents want to give. This conflict of interest stems from a genetic conflict. Parents are genetically equally related to all of their offspring (the coefficient of relatedness r = 0.5; children share 50% genes of each of parents) and, for the parents, they present the same value as the “vehicle” of their genes. For this reason, parents are selected to balance investment among their offspring. For the offspring, it is a different standpoint: for each “full” sibling (r = 0.5) its value is twice as much to the other sibling (because it has 100% of its own genes, and the second sibling shares only 50% of its genes), and its value is fourfold higher than the value of a half-sibling (r = 0.25). The “selfish” children, driven by their own genetic interest, try to obtain more parental investment than their parents intend to provide, even at their siblings’ disadvantage. In this situation, a parent–offspring conflict arises that concerns the distribution of parental investment, and what is important, one can expect a sibling rivalry for these resources. In this paper the social and psychological consequences of parent – offspring conflict are discussed: i.a. infanticide, mate preference conflict, sibling rivalry and allomothering as a way in which parent–offspring can be reduced.

Opis:
Consumer society has undergone various transformations in terms of group and social behaviors. Body estheticization is undoubtedly one of the essential phenomena involved. It depends on the improvement of the bodilyfeatures in order to increase its esthetic values, i.e. transformation of the body into a work of art. Body estheticization is characterized by complex factors such as: reliance on the established patterns of beauty promoted by media. The article assumes that beauty may be perceived not only from the socio-cultural perspective but also as an evolutionary phenomenon. In the light of the course of evolution, people has developed a mechanism of sexual selection which facilitatedthe choice of the right candidate on the basis of the essential parameters including:existence, survival and reproductive success. Among other mechanisms, the external appearance, beauty, body and its predispositions have become symbols of beneficial genes, used alsoas a particular kind of information for representatives of the opposite sex. The article discusses the evolutionary foundation of beauty and beauty standards, in particular: the cult of youth, beautiful body and its predispositions, which constitute a connection between evolutionary psychology, socio-biology and body estheticization.

Opis:
To begin with, a hypothesis is made regarding the possibility of treating imitation as a key mechanism in the induction of trance states. The author argues that this thesis can be justified convincingly on the basis of empirical material collected by researchers of shamanism. The theories of religion formulated by evolutionary psychologists place emphasis on the origins of religious concepts. However, they leave aside the question of ritual, and also do not permit a more thorough study of the mechanisms generating a ritual trance state. In order to analyse the cognitive aspects of trance, it is therefore necessary to construct a different theoretical model.

Opis:
In this article, the model of an inconsistent mind according to suggestions of Hilary Putnam and Alan Turing is presented from the perspective of the cognitive sciences and the evolutionary psychology. An attempt to reconcile the two versions of the modular model of mind by Jerry Fodor and Steven Pinker is undertaken followed by the discussion of the problem of evolutionary origin of mind. Next, the problem of the central module (interface) is considered which is supposed to integrate the individual and specialized modules of mind. The main thesis of this article states that the ‘global’ inconsistency of mind may result from the inconsistencies among ‘local’ computational modules of mind. Mind may be modeled as an inconsistent formal system which remains non-trivial. Consequently, it seems rational to postulate that the operation of mind is not based on the classical Aristotelian logic and is better described the systems of a paraconsistent logic. Best examples of such logical systems include the discussive logic by Stanisław Jaśkowski, the logic of formal inconsistency (LFI) by Newton da Costa and the many-valued logic by Jan Łukasiewicz and Graham Priest.

Niniejszy artykuł poświęcony został analizie poglądów dotyczących płci i ról płciowych w ujęciu Karola Darwina i jego następców działających w różnych obszarach nauki. Problem „natura czy kultura” w tym dyskursie jest problemem podstawowym. W artykule zaprezentowano również argumenty krytyczne wobec teorii ewolucyjnych podnoszone przez grono badaczek feministek. Przedstawiono, jak ta krytyka wpłynęła na ewolucję poglądów ewolucjonistów: od samego K. Darwina poprzez badaczy zakotwiczonych w takich dziedzinach nauki, jak: zoopsychologia, etologia, socjobiologia, aż do psychologii ewolucyjnej. Pracę wieńczy podsumowanie, w którym zaprezentowano argumenty obrazujące możliwe połączenie poglądów prezentowanych przez nauki ewolucyjne ze stanowiskiem feministycznym na temat płci oraz możliwe przyszłe drogi rozwoju tych stanowisk.
The main goal of this article is the analysis of sex/gender and its roles in terms of Charles Darwin’s and his successors’ theories. The problem of ‘nature vs. culture’ in this discourse is fundamental and I refer to it. I also present the critical arguments against evolutionary theories raised by feminists. It is also presented how this criticism influenced rethinking sex/gender from anevolutionary perspective: from Darwin himself through zoopsychology, ethology, sociobiology to evolutionary psychology. The arguments illustrating whether it is possible to combine the views presented by feminists and evolutionary science about sex/gender are presented. Finally, I wonder if it is possible to put a sign of equality between nature and culture in the context of human sexuality.

Opis:
Artykuł jest próbą analizy możliwości wykorzystania osiągnięć psychologii ewolucyjnej do argumentacji na rzecz rozwiązań stosowanych na gruncie prawa kanonicznego. Psychologia ewolucyjna jest stosunkowo młodą nauką, która zajmuje się badaniem natury człowieka i wyjaśnianiem jego zachowań, przyjmując jako założenie podstawowe hipotezę ewolucji. Współcześnie jest ona coraz częściej wykorzystywana do analizowania instytucji prawa świeckiego oraz do formułowania szczegółowych postulatów dotyczących rozstrzygnięć prawnych. Prawo kanoniczne jest zaś prawem Kościoła Rzymskokatolickiego, które przynależy do jego istoty i służy kształtowaniu relacji pomiędzy jego członkami. Wychodząc od przedstawienia źródeł prawa kanonicznego, artykuł wskazuje niezbędne warunki, jakie musiałaby spełnić psychologia ewolucyjna, aby jej osiągnięcia mogły znaleźć zastosowanie w argumentacji kanonistycznej w ograniczonym zakresie dotyczącym prawa natury.
The article is an attempt to analyze the possibility of adapting the achievements of evolutionary psychology in argumentation for the canon law regulations. Evolutionary psychology is a later science which studies human nature and explains human behaviors on the grounds of evolution hypothesis. Nowadays, it is even more frequently used in appraising secular law institutions and in formulating detailed postulates of legal decisions. Canon law is the law of the Roman Catholic Church, an immanent part of its structure, and it regulates the relationships among its members. Having presented the sources of canon law, the article briefly shows the necessary conditions for applying the achievements of evolutionary psychology to canon law, however, useful only in a narrow range of the laws of nature.

Opis:
The present paper attempts to look at on the genealogy of both shared intentionality and collective intentionality, comparing Michael Tomasello’s concept with Max Scheler’s threedimensional concept of intentionality: ens amans, ens volens, ens cogitans, as affective, conative, and cognitive intentionality. I focus on various forms of affective collective intentionality — Schelerian forms of sympathy — to show collective subjectivity from the whole spectrum of emotional intentionality, presented by Scheler’s example of parents standing over the corpse of a child. Even though Tomasello’s works seem to empirically corroborate Scheler’s intuitions about the emotional genealogy of collective intentionality, they will differ in the horizons within they locate intentionality. In the case of the evolutionary psychology of Tomasello, we can talk about the horizon of cooperation, in the case of Scheler’s Scheler’s phenomenology of acts about the horizon of responsibility or co-responsibility, which gives intentionality its unique character. The similarities of both concepts concern the following pillars: 1) genealogy of intentionality covering the dimension of affective intentionality, conative intentionality, and the level of cognitive intentionality; 2) Imitation or, as Scheler would say, following someone. Because a person is recognized by the author of Formalism as an act, or a bundle of acts, the way to understanding and communication with another person is the maieutic coperformance of their acts — i.e., imitation. The maieutic co-execution of acts of others triggers the constitution process of a person, both on an individual and community level. We can speak, in the case of Tomasello, about the ontho- and sociogenetic function of co-executing acts or imitating; however, in the case of Scheler, we are dealing with the clearly axiological nature of such a constitution of both the individual and collective subjectivity (axiological ego, axiological communio); 3) collaborative engagement as a driving force behind collective intentionality in one case in form of co-responsibility, a nature of a collective person (Scheler); in the other case in form of collaboration developing intentionality to various units of community life (Tomasello).

Opis:
Language does not leave a fossil we can put under a microscope; there is no living witness to its origin, early functions and its stages of evolution. Thus, the study of language origin and development is based mostly on speculations or guesses we need to take in order to see the big picture and to try to solve some of the greatest mysteries of human history – a jigsaw puzzle made out of millions of pieces scattered around the world. So as to fully explore and grasp the notion of language, it appears fundamental to start from dissecting and putting under a microscope all components, properties, processes and manifestations of language, a selection of which has been offered throughout this paper. There are very few certainties in this field; however, it has been established that certain properties and aspects of language had to coincide for it to originate, viz. the descent of the larynx, the growth and reshaping of the brain and skull, changes of speech apparatus and finally the emergence of syntax. First though, a collective shift in thinking must have occurred, generating the mental readiness for language capacity and the need to expand the existing communication system. Once the requirement was established, human anatomy must have eventually followed. Consequently, the process of externalization was activated, engineered by the consistent and coherent socio-cultural transmission, which redesigned human interaction, communication and social organisation. Scientific evidence, presented in this paper, suggests that language could not have emerged as a result of a sudden shift, on the contrary, it must have been a result of complex processes, mental and biological on one level and social and psychological on the other.
