Do people think that behaviour is due to genetics, regardless of whether it’s good or bad? New research shows that people think prosocial behaviour is more influenced by genetics than antisocial behaviour

How do people use experiences caused by latent states to learn generalizable internal representations? A model combining prototype representations with goal-oriented discriminative attention can explain people’s behaviours:

Human generalization of internal representations through prototype learning with goal-directed...

Nature Human Behaviour - The authors use three latent-state learning tasks to test how people approximate the complexities of the external world with simplified internal representations that...

What causes partner similarity: partner choice, partner influence, or confounders such as shared environment? @jenny_sjaarda & @zkutalik find evidence for all 3 causes, but education, income, and health explain most correlations among all other traits.

Partner choice, confounding and trait convergence all contribute to phenotypic partner similarity

Nature Human Behaviour - Partners are often similar in traits, such as their education and political views, but it is unclear what exactly causes this similarity. Using Mendelian randomization and...
