We discuss the role that development plays in biology; the importance of the field of evolutionary psychology; the current state of the art of human epigenetics; behavioral genetics and the nature-nurture debate; what is “innate” in human psychology; behavioral plasticity; our long period of development as a species and what we acquire through it; some species-typical mental abilities, like imitation, theory of mind and culture; the importance of play; and implicit knowledge. We wrap up the interview by talking about evolutionary mismatch and how we are not adapted to certain aspects of our modern environment, and the problems that might bring; and also how we can apply this knowledge to develop better education systems.  -- Follow Dr. Bjorklund’s work: Faculty page: https://bit.ly/2UeCwMs Academia.edu profile: https://bit.ly/2D0sdBg Articles on Researchgate: https://bit.ly/2IIHBYk Books on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2TWi1PB -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, SCIMED, PER HELGE HAAKSTD LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, RUI BELEZA, MIGUEL ESTRADA, ANTÓNIO CUNHA, CHANTEL GELINAS, JIM FRANK, JERRY MULLER, FRANCIS FORD, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BRIAN RIVERA, ADRIANO ANDRADE, YEVHEN BODRENKO, SERGIU CODREANU, ADAM BJERRE, JUSTIN WATERS, ŁUKASZ STAFINIAK AND AIRES ALMEIDA!

Dr. Clark does research in Moral Psychology, Political Psychology, Experimental Philosophy, and Motivated Cognition. She’s also the cohost of Psyphilopod. In this episode, we focus on experimental philosophy, moral judgment, beliefs in free will and determinism, and political bias. We first talk about the new field of experimental philosophy, and how it differs from how philosophy was traditionally done. We then get into some specific topics like people’s belief in free will and their need to attribute moral responsibility, and how they deal with a deterministic view of the world that comes from science. Also, how people judge themselves and others differently, or the fundamental attribution error. And how liberals and conservatives think about free will, determinism and compatibilism. We then move on to discuss biases, starting off with what is the best way to think about them; in what ways political biases are special; and the impact they have on science. Finally, we got through what we know about how liberals and conservatives deal with different viewpoints and ideas, and several hypotheses to explain where that comes from. -- Follow Dr. Clark’s work: Faculty page: https://bit.ly/2TO0dpP Website: https://www.coryjclark.com/ Articles on Researchgate: https://bit.ly/2Hxk36e Twitter handle: @ImHardcory -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, SCIMED, PER HELGE HAAKSTD LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, RUI BELEZA, MIGUEL ESTRADA, ANTÓNIO CUNHA, CHANTEL GELINAS, JIM FRANK, JERRY MULLER, FRANCIS FORD, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BRIAN RIVERA, ADRIANO ANDRADE, YEVHEN BODRENKO, SERGIU CODREANU, ADAM BJERRE, JUSTIN WATERS, ŁUKASZ STAFINIAK AND AIRES ALMEIDA!

First, we discuss how religion is a multifaceted phenomenon, its evolutionary bases, and the complicated causal relationship between beliefs and actions.

We also refer to costly signaling in the context of religion, and its relationship to trust, and how socioeconomic factors and natural disasters influence adherence to religion.
