Blog#3- Research Idea
During the last 50
years there has been a lot new research about evolutionary psychology and many
new things that people unacknowledged has been found. Such as that people are psychological
determinate to fall in love with certain type of people depending of their
memories as growing up. For example, men usually look for women with characteristics
that his mother had or the mother figure that may had, just like women would
fall for someone who had the qualities of the father figure that she got at
home; this behavior is done unconsciously, on both cases. This kind of ideas
have been discover recently in the 20th century, that’s why it is so
important for humans, because it explains a lot of things of the human behavior.
Before
evolutionary psychology there was the idea of two existential groups, the good
and the evil. Now is has become common knowledge that the brain has different functions
and that these functions do affect people’s everyday life, therefore there is no
such thing as bad or good people, its more complex than that. If people behave
certain ways it’s because they had some trauma in their lives, this is known
because psychology explain it to us that. Evolutionary psychology has lead into
the development of other subcategories that explore the complex structure of
the brain. One of the many things tha psychology has help us to clear out is the complicated situation of knowing why do we are attracted to certin type of people. This is the attraction theory, which explains what are the most common characteristics that people look for in another person, besides basic attractions signs such hygene, appearence,among others features.
