About
My main interest is sex differences in cooperation and morality. From the theory of evolution, we can expect that men and women will moderate cooperation in reaction to different stimuli. The theory of cooperative breeding indicates the importance of child-care for the evolution of all kinds of cooperative efforts among women and between men and women. I am conducting studies that investigate whether women increase cooperation when confronted with reproductive cues.
I am also studying sex differences in moral intuitions. The evolution of these (and other) group differences, and of individual differences in moral intuitions in general, can have intriguing philosophical implications. My aim is to assess the consequences of this scientific knowledge for naturalistic normative ethics.
