Ethics in Research01:56

Ethics in Research

23.0K
Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Robbers Cave

During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

Naturalistic Observations

15.4K
If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

Aggression01:47

Aggression

27.8K
Humans engage in aggression when they seek to cause harm or pain to another person. Aggression takes two forms depending on one’s motives: hostile or instrumental. Hostile aggression is motivated by feelings of anger with intent to cause pain; a fight in a bar with a stranger is an example of hostile aggression. In contrast, instrumental aggression is motivated by achieving a goal and does not necessarily involve intent to cause pain (Berkowitz, 1993); a contract killer who murders for...

Cognitive Learning01:21

Cognitive Learning

243
Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...

Altruism

41.1K
Altruistic behaviors are “unselfish” behaviors—those that help another individual at the expense of the individual carrying out the behavior. Despite the negative consequences for the altruistic animal, these behaviors are thought to have evolved for several reasons.

Summary

Humans may not be uniquely capable of peace compared to other mammals. Research suggests primate social skills and a nuanced definition of peace challenge human-centric views on establishing peace.

Area of Science:

  • Comparative psychology
  • Primatology
  • Peace studies

Background:

  • Glowacki proposed humans possess superior capabilities for peace establishment compared to other mammals.
  • This claim warrants critical examination through comparative behavioral analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically evaluate Glowacki's claim regarding human uniqueness in peace establishment.
  • To explore the social capabilities of nonhuman primates in relation to peace.
  • To identify potential fallacies in human-centered definitions of peace.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of social behaviors in humans and nonhuman primates.
  • Literature review on primate social structures and conflict resolution.
  • Philosophical examination of peace definitions and anthropocentric bias.

Main Results:

  • Nonhuman primates exhibit complex social capabilities that influence peace dynamics.
  • The relationship between social capabilities and peace establishment is not linear but non-monotonic.
  • Human-centered definitions of peace may not accurately encompass or evaluate peace in other species.

Conclusions:

  • Human exceptionalism in peace establishment is questionable.
  • Primate social intelligence and behaviors offer valuable insights into peace processes.
  • A broader, less anthropocentric framework is needed to understand peace across species.
