Personality Development in Evolutionary Perspective

Abstract: A relationship between personality processes and evolution can be seen when behaviors associated with sexual maturation, mating, and parenting are examined This article stipulates the types of proximal cues implicated in the shaping of personality variables that become important in the development of the individual's reproductive behavior

“…One is analysis of the experiences during development that can shunt individuals toward different strategies (Buss, 1991;Tooby & Cosmides, 1990a). There is some evidence that father absence during childhood shunts individuals toward a more promiscuous mating strategy, whereas the presence of an investing father during childhood shunts individuals toward a more monogamous mating strategy (Belsky, Steinberg, & Draper, 1991;Draper & Belsky, 1990). The environmental input during development-presence versus absence of investing fathers and the reliability or unpredictability of resources-presumably provides information about the probability of securing a high-investing, committed mate and hence whether or not the pursuit of a series of short-term mates might be more advantageous.…”

“…They believe that cads and dads are different human morphs, just as workers and queens are different morphs of ants, and that whether a man becomes one or the other depends on an environmental trigger: the presence or absence of the father in the household where the son grows up. The sons of father-absent households will become cads, and those of father-present households will become dads (Draper andHarpending 1982, 1988;Draper and Belsky 1990).…”

“…Although certain sex differences, such as the physiological capacity to bear and nurse offspring, are constants, their implications for behaviors will vary depending on factors in the physical and social environment, such as availability of resources and population sex ratios (Crook & Crook, 1988;Daly & Wilson, 1983;Guttentag & Secord, 1983). Evolutionary models have given increasingly explicit attention to the ways in which innate predispositions might interact with events in the environment to produce either long-term or short-term changes in behavior (e.g., Draper & Belsky, 1990;Gangestad & Simpson, 2000;Kenrick, et al, 1990). For example, the biosocial interactionist model of gender differences considers several ways in which differential genetic predispositions in females and males might affect, and be affected by, the social environment (Kenrick, 1987).…”
