Untitled Deck Flashcards
What is Evolution?
Evolution consists of changes in the heritable traits of a population of organisms as successive generations replace one another.
Who proposed the Darwinian Evolutionary Theory?
Charles Darwin proposed the Darwinian Evolutionary Theory in On the Origin of Species (1859).
What are the key components of Darwinian Evolutionary Theory?
Variation, Overproduction, Struggle for Existence, Survival of the Fittest, Descent with Modification.
What is Natural Selection?
Natural selection is a mechanism of evolution where organisms that are more adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and pass on their genes.
How does Natural Selection affect traits?
Traits that improve survival and reproduction are more likely to be passed on, leading to changes in population traits over time.
What are some examples of Natural Selection?
Fear of predators or heights, Parental investment, Mate attraction.
What is Evolutionary Psychology?
Evolutionary psychology is a branch of psychology that applies evolutionary theory to understand human behavior and mental processes.
What are examples of Evolutionary Psychology?
Mate selection, Social cooperation, Fear of the unknown, Emotional reactions.
What is Culture?
Culture is a dynamic and integral aspect of society that encompasses both non-material aspects like values and beliefs, and material aspects such as objects and technology.
What are examples of Cultural Practices?
Simbang Gabi, Santacruzan, Bayanihan Spirit, Kamayan, Mano Po.
What is the Bystander Effect?
The Bystander Effect refers to the fact that the greater number of witnesses there are to an event, the less likely anyone is to help.
What is Acceptance in Psychology?
Acceptance refers to the act of willingly and wholeheartedly embracing or recognizing something that is offered, suggested, or presented.
What is the difference between Acceptance and Compliance?
Acceptance is sincere and inward conformity, while Compliance is insincere and outward conformity.
What is the Autokinetic Phenomenon?
The autokinetic phenomenon is an optical illusion where a stationary point of light in a dark environment appears to move.
What is Compliance?
Compliance is a response to social influence where an individual changes their behavior due to the hope of gaining a reward or the fear of facing punishment.
How does Compliance relate to power dynamics?
Compliance is often tied to a power dynamic, where someone in authority exerts control over another.
What is Normative Influence?
Normative Influence refers to the pressure to conform to the expectations of others in order to be accepted or liked by the group.
What is Informational Influence?
Informational influence occurs when individuals conform because they believe the group has superior knowledge or information.
Organisms that are more adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and pass on the genes that aided their success.
Organisms produce many diverse offspring.
These offspring compete for survival in their environment.
Traits that improve survival and reproduction are more likely to be passed on.
Over time, this leads to changes in population traits.
