SUMMARY:Sean Prall: Perceptions that matter: using peer evaluations and dyadic data to explore behavior in rural Namibia
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Sean Prall \nDept. of Anthropology\, University of Missouri \nhttps://sprall.github.io/ \nTitle: Perceptions that matter: using peer evaluations and dyadic data to explore behavior in rural Namibia \nAbstract: Reputation and social status are central to research on mating\, social learning\, and cooperation. However\, evolutionary social scientists face significant methodological difficulties in accurately measuring people’s perceptions of others. As a result\, most studies in anthropology and psychology rely on hypotheticals or experimental paradigms in lab-based settings. While this work has yielded insight into how people think about these domains\, these approaches are limited in their ecological validity\, ability to capture a dynamic and competitive social environment\, and may recapitulate social norms instead of yield novel information about social dynamics. An alternative approach\, which I will explore in this talk\, is the use of dyadic peer evaluations. Using two unique datasets\, each with more than 10\,000 ratings from a single community in Namibia\, I will explore two case studies: 1) mating market competition\, and 2) women’s status. I will highlight the benefits and potential drawbacks of dyadic peer evaluations and explore how these methods can be used as part of a larger toolkit to explore cultural and behavioral attributes of human populations. \nZoom: https://ucla.zoom.us/j/92826436236?pwd=SytQNTNPSWdwaDNlTm05d2srdXNHUT09 \nMeeting ID: 928 2643 6236 \nPasscode: BEC
