SUMMARY:Gail Heyman - Children's Reasoning about People as Source of Information
DESCRIPTION:Gail Heyman: UCSD Department of PsychologyThe human capacity to acquire knowledge from others\, rather than only relying upon what can be observed or experienced directly\, opens vast opportunities for learning.  As a result of this capacity\, humans are highly adaptable across many contexts.  However\, the use of such\ninformation can also pose difficulties.  For example\, sources may provide incorrect or misleading information\, either intentionally or unintentionally.  In this talk\, I will focus on children’s evaluation of others as sources of information within one particular context:  when\npeople talk about themselves.  The findings I will present\, which include data collected in the U.S. and in China\, address how children’s reasoning is affected by the content of the message\, and by the social context in which the communication occurs.

SUMMARY:John Patton - Coalitional Psychology and the Conundrum of Altruism: a case from the Ecuadorian Amazon
DESCRIPTION:John Patton: California State University Fullerton Department of AnthropologyThe search for solutions to the conundrum of altruism is a central focus of evolutionary approaches to the study of human behavior.  The focus of this talk is to present data on cooperation collected among horticultural foragers in the Ecuadorian Amazon to argue that a better understanding of the conundrum of altruism\, and its constraints\, can be gained by examining human cooperation as an aspect of an evolved coalitional psychology.  Coalitional psychology is that aspect of human nature designed to construct mental representations of coalitional structures\, to triangulate oneself and others within coalitional structures\, to reason about and pursue behavioral strategies within\ncoalitional contexts\, and to evoke emotional states that led to actions that result from or create coalitional consequences.  Apart from\nexplicit or implicit attempts to detect group boundaries (ethnic\, spatial\, or political) and the collection of basic demographic data\,\nevolutionary ethnographers do not routinely collect data on coalitional structures.  Without such data it is difficult to assess the influences\nof coalitional thinking on cooperation which predicts that people will weigh the costs and benefits of cooperating differently depending on\ntheir position within their coalitional.  Even in egalitarian societies some people are more equal than others.  In this talk I will integrate\ndata on coalitional structure derived from network analysis techniques\, with data on behavior within three separate domains of cooperation\n(status allocation\, meat sharing\, and experimental economic games) to illustrate influences of an evolved coalitional psychology on patterns of human cooperation.

SUMMARY:Teresa Seeman  - Exploring a Bio-Psychosocial Model of Cumulative Risk – Biological Pathways Linking Life Experience and Health Outcome in Aging
DESCRIPTION:Teresa Seeman : UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine Division of GeriatricsDr. Seeman will discuss evidence linking socio-economic\, social and psychological resources to trajectories of health and aging and the multiple biological pathways through which these factors appear to impact on health outcomes over the life course.  Possible sex and/or ethnic differences in these patterns of association will also be discussed.
