Professor Kenrick's current research interests focus mainly on questions related to evolutionary social cognition (e.g., how attention, encoding, and memory for other people is influenced by fundamental human goals), as well as exploring links between evolutionary psychology and dynamical systems perspectives (e.g., how cultural norms emerge from individuals acting on evolved decision-rules) |
