【摘要】 本文从哲学"范式"的视角总结近十余年进化心理学的研究进展。心理适应器和领域特殊性是进化心理学的两大理论假设。进化心理学追求人类行为和心理的最终解释,对人类行为的起源运用了一个通用模型。有批评认为进化心理学的方法论像"假想的故事"。但进化心理学重视对研究假设的检验,使用的研究方法丰富多样,因此并不存在不能证实或不能证伪的问题。进化心理学坚决反对遗传决定论,它的概念框架强调遗传和环境的相互作用。更多还原

【Abstract】 This essay summarizes research development of evolutionary psychology over the past decade from a perspective of philosophical "paradigm".Mental adaptor,which is the solution of the adaptive problem,together with the domain specific,an alternative replacement of domain general assumption,are two fundamental theories of evolutionary psychology.Evolutionary psychology aims to obtain an ultimate explanation of the mental and behavior of the human being,and it provides a general model to explain the behaviors of the human being.Critics question the methodology of evolutionary psychology and regarded it as a story-telling of ex post facto.Yet,in reality,evolutionary psychologists value the process of the hypothesis testing very much and adopt variant kinds of methods to test them;there is no evidence to say the theories of evolutionary psychology can not be falsified. Strongly opposing genetic predeterminism,evolutionary psychology emphasize the interaction between heredity and environment.更多还原
