    Dr. Gerard Saucier is a Professor of Psychology at the University of Oregon. He won the 1999 Cattell Early Career Research Award from the Society of Multivariate Experimental Psychology. His research focuses on Personality Psychology, Values, Cultural Psychology, Moral Psychology, and Political Psychology. Dr. Saucier has been a leader in developing and refining dimensional models for personality (the Big Five, and upgrading from the Big Five to a more comprehensive Big Six model and a broader, more universal 'Big Two') and beliefs and values (e.g., dimensions of ‘isms’).

    In this episode, we talk about personality psychology, and the Big Five, Big Six and HEXACO personality traits inventories, and the Big Two. We start off with an overview of the historical and scientific importance of the development of the Big Five personality traits to personality psychology, and the scientific rationale behind them, the lexical hypothesis/rationale. Then, we discuss the Big Six and the HEXACO, and how these inventories are arrived at. We also talk about what would be the goals of the development of these inventories, with special emphasis on universality and predictive ability. We discuss briefly the ten aspects of the Big Five, and then finish off by talking about the application of these inventories to clinical psychology, and the ways by which culture might influence personality traits and how they get expressed.

    Dr. Glenn Geher is Professor of Psychology at the State University of New York at New Paltz where he has been awarded SUNY Chancellor Awards for Excellence for both Teaching and Research. In addition to teaching various courses and directing the New Paltz Evolutionary Psychology Lab, Dr. Geher serves as founding director of the campus’ Evolutionary Studies (EvoS) program. He is also credited as the founder of the NorthEastern Evolutionary Psychology Society (NEEPS). He has also published several books including Evolutionary Psychology 101, Mating Intelligence Unleashed: The Role of the Mind in Sex, Dating, and Love, and Straightforward Statistics. In Darwin's Subterranean World: Evolution, Mind, and Mating Intelligence, his Psychology Today blog, Dr. Geher addresses various topics related to the human condition.

    In this episode, we talk about the evolution of human mating, mating intelligence and the PsychTable, a periodic table of evolved psychological adaptations. We first go through the evolutionary bases of human mating, including the importance of sexual competition and sexual selection, and distinguishing between short-term and long-term strategies in both sexes. Then, we discuss Mating Intelligence and if it really varies independently of General Intelligence and IQ, and also attachment theory. Finally, we talk about the PychTable; the criteria for considering something an adaptation; some criticisms of Evolutionary Psychology (EP); and also the relationship between EP and Biology, and if in the future it could be the unifying framework for all of the branches of Psychology.

    A Vera Gomes sofre de doença inflamatória do intestino, neste caso colite ulcerosa, e é uma ativista a tentar sensibilizar para este tipo de condições de saúde, em Portugal, mas também no resto do mundo. 

    Para o efeito, ela tem um blogue, em português, Escadinhas do Quebra Costas, no qual escreve sobre estas doenças, e também tenta mostrar às pessoas através da sua própria experiência como é viver com uma condição deste tipo. 

    Neste episódio, falamos sobre a experiência dela a lidar com a colite ulcerosa; o que é que a doença inflamatória da intestino (DII), e como se distingue do síndrome do intestino irritado (SII); de que maneiras a DII pode afetar a vida pessoal e profissional das pessoas que dela padecem; a dificuldade de diagnóstico; a petição que está a ser avaliada na Assembleia da República com propostas para melhorar as condições de vida destes doentes; e como podem ser alvos fáceis de propaganda vinda das medicinas e terapias alternativas.

    Dr. Monique Borgerhoff Mulder trained as a social anthropologist at the University of Edinburgh, and received a Ph.D. at Northwestern University. After a post doc at the Evolution and Human Behavior Program at the University of Michigan, she joined the UC Davis Anthropology (Evolutionary Wing) faculty, where she is now a Distinguished Professor. Professor Borgerhoff Mulder is a human behavioral ecologist (HBE) working on projects relating to life history, inequality, natural resource management, and patterned cultural variation.

    Here, we talk about what is Evolutionary Anthropology; the conciliation between Evolutionary Psychology and Human Behavioral Ecology; the role of biology and culture in determining gender roles; how the studies done with the Pimbwe add nuance to the study of gender roles; the importance of sexual selection in the creation and exaggeration of sexual dimorphisms; what factors influence reproductive skew in humans; the interaction between mating, parenting and subsistence in the behavior directed at offspring; how the number of mates and the number of years spent with each mate influence fitness; mate selection in different ecological conditions; the problem with romanticizing hunter-gatherer and prehistorical peoples.

    A Dra. Monique Borgerhoff Mulder teve formação como antropóloga social na Universidade de Edinburgh, e recebeu um doutoramento pela Universidade de Northwestern. Após um pós-doutoramento no Evolution and Human Behavior Program da Universidade de Michigan, juntou-se à faculdade de Antropologia (Ramo Evolutivo) da UC Davis, onde é agora Professora Honorária. A Professora Borgerhoff Mulder é uma ecologista comportamental humana, trabalhando em projetos relacionados com história de vida, desigualdade, gestão de recursos naturais, e variação cultural padronizada.

    Aqui, falamos sobre o que é a Antropologia Evolutiva; a conciliação entre a Psicologia Evolutiva e a Ecologia Comportamental Humana; o papel da biologia e da cultura na determinação dos papéis de género; como os estudos feitos na tribo dos Pimbwe dão nuance ao estudo dos papéis de género; a importância da seleção sexual na criação e exagero das dismorfias sexuais; que fatores influenciam a reprodução assimétrica nos humanos; a interação entre acasalamento, parentalidade e subsistência no comportamento dirigido à prole; como é que o número de parceiros e o número de anos partilhados com cada parceiro influenciam o fitness; seleção de parceiro em diferentes condições ecológicas; o problema com a romantização dos caçadores-coletores e povos pré-históricos.
