Individual-level psychology and group-level traits

Michael Muthukrishna et al. Behav Brain Sci. 2014 Jun.

Abstract

Psychological research on social influence illuminates many mechanisms through which role differentiation and collaborative interdependence may affect cultural evolution. We focus here on psychological processes that produce specific patterns of asymmetric influence, which in turn can have predictable consequences for the emergence and transmission of group-level traits.
