“…This research has shown that the violence is a by-product of paternity uncertainty which is an evolutionary problem during reproduction. It's a behavior of men who fear a lack of power in their spousal relationship and a lack of control over their partner's sexuality and reproductive resource [13].…”

This article proposes the hypothesis that males of low socioeconomic status (SES) would more likely be a perpetrator of domestic violence due to selection pressures branching from paternity uncertainty. This article would address two points: 1) males are more prone to use violence to control female sexuality to solve the adaptive problem of paternity uncertainty 2) violent mechanisms to control female sexuality and ensure paternity certainty of males of lower SES are more easily triggered due to a more exaggerated fear of losing valuable resources compared to males of higher SES. This study will focus on Chinese society in particular and will base the experiment on the Chinese population using a questionnaire.

Laivos de feminilidade na Atena Homérica Autor(es):Magalhães, José Malheiro Abstract: Athena, as described in the Homeric Poems, is a feminine figure filled with masculine attributes. This aspect is so defining of the goddess character that, if we only base ourselves in the Homeric description, it makes us even forget that under the armour and weapons, aegis and robust peplos, there is a feminine divinity. In this article we will explore the Homeric Athena, with the objective of separating the masculine from the feminine, the warrior from the maiden.Keywords: Athena, Femininity, Masculinity, Homer.Atena é, entre as divindades da antiguidade, uma das figuras de maior expressão, sendo uma prolífera fonte de inspiração artística ao longo dos séculos até hoje. Desde o alvor do período renascentista que é possível observar que a deusa continuava bem viva na memó-ria cultural europeia, sendo inúmeras as pinturas que remetem para a Devo um enorme agradecimento ao Doutor Nuno Simões Rodrigues e à Doutora Susan Deacy, cuja leitura de versões iniciais deste artigo e consequentes comentários e sugestões foram fundamentais.

“…Peters et al (2002) found women were at greater risk for partner violence when they were younger, consistent with predictions that mate-guarding behaviour is sensitive to women's fertility and men's risk of cuckoldry. In addition, pregnancy was associated with partner violence, potentially reflecting increased paternity uncertainty/suspicion in male partners during this time (Burch & Gallup Jr., 2004;Deacy & McHardy, 2013).…”

“…The majority of partner violence literature was linked to male sexual proprietariness, while familicide was associated with familial proprietariness. The empirical literature found links between male sexual jealousy and uxoricide (Daly et al, 1982;Deacy & McHardy, 2013), however one study found possessive jealousy did not predict male perpetrated IPV (Buunk & Massar, 2019). The theoretical literature conceptualised male perpetrated IPV as an adaption (Daly, 2016;Wilson, 1989;, or by-product (Belsky, 2016) functioning to reduce partner infidelity or desertion and solve the adaptive problem of paternity uncertainty and risk of cuckoldry.…”

A Systematic Review of Evolutionary-Based Conceptualisations of Family Violence and the Development of an Alternative Motivational-Emotional Systems Approach

<p>Evolutionary psychology is a field that provides distal explanations of behaviour. Although it has potential to enhance current understandings of family violence, the present state of the literature is conceptually messy. The aim of the current thesis was to bring coherence to this domain by conducting a systematic review of evolutionary conceptualisations of family violence over the past four decades. Four databases (PsycINFO, PsycArticles, ProQuest Central, and Web of Science) were searched using relevant search terms to identify any work that examined family violence from an evolutionary perspective. A total of 54 publications were included in the review, ranging from theoretical pieces and empirical studies through to several commentaries. Findings indicated family violence was conceptualised as an adaptation, by-product, or pathology. However, numerous authors had contradictory perspectives as to how certain offences should be conceptualised, others failed to make a conceptual claim at all, and there was a tendency among authors to describe the behaviour as an adaptation rather than the underlying psychological mechanisms. To make sense of the findings, six recurrent themes were developed: lack of resources, genetic relatedness as a protective factor, fast life history strategy, reproductive value, lethal violence as pathology, and male sexual and familial proprietariness. The second aim of the thesis was to develop a novel theoretical framework that conceptualised family violence in a more clear and coherent manner. This new model was labelled the Fundamental Motives Framework and mapped findings from the systematic review onto a range of motivational-emotional systems. The Fundamental Motives Framework was discussed as a promising way of providing a multi- faceted, coherent perspective of family violence that accommodates for the heterogeneity in offending. Limitations and directions for future research were also discussed.</p>
