Question

Malcolm hits Jason because Jason took his toy. A psychologist from which psychological perspective would explain this behavior by pointing out that humans learned to behave aggressively because aggression conveys a survival or reproductive advantage?

Answer 1

Answer:

An evolutionary psychologist

Explanation:

Evolutionary psychologists are not focused on studying the physiological mechanisms of our brain and our emotions, they are more interested in the development of anger in certain situations, for example, and how those emotions were helpful for our ancestors.

Evolution psychology is of the Proposition that human behavior can be partly explained as the outcome of natural selection.

The situation of Malcolm hitting back Jason in anger can be seen by an Evolution Psychologist as a learned behaviour of aggression which conveys a survival advantage.
