Theory and measurement of environmental unpredictability (2020, methodology): “Recently, evolutionary-developmental theory and research have identified a unique role for environmental unpredictability in regulating human development (Ellis et al., 2009).”
The psychometric assessment of human life history strategy: A meta-analytic construct validation. (2014, background): “Individuals raised in harsh, unpredictable, or uncontrollable environments are more likely to develop faster LH strategies, whereas individuals raised in a safer, more predictable, or more controllable environments typically develop slower LH strategies (Ellis et al., 2009).”
Reputation, Gossip, and Human Cooperation (2016, background): “…early-life experiences, in particular childhood environmental harshness and unpredictability (e.g., resource-scarce or dangerous environments) (Belsky, Schlomer, & Ellis, 2012; Frankenhuis, Panchanathan, & Nettle, 2016), and (b) current stress levels (e.g., mortality rates) (Ellis et al., 2009).”
Childhood Adversity and Neural Development: Deprivation and Threat as Distinct Dimensions of Early Experience (2014, background): “For example, the degree of environmental redictability has been argued to be central aspect of environental experience that shapes the development and evolution of uman life history strategies (Ellis et al., 2009), and unpredictabilty or chaos in childhood predicts psychological adjustment and arly-”
How Financial Constraints Influence Consumer Behavior: An Integrative Framework (2018, background): “Much research in this area is based on the interdisciplinary framework of life history theory, which emphasizes that unpredictability is a fundamental dimension of the environment for all organisms, including humans (Ellis et al., 2009).”
Middle Childhood: An Evolutionary‐Developmental Synthesis (2014, background): “Slow strategies are also favored by nutritional scarcity when danger is low (see Del Giudice et al., 2016; Ellis et al., 2009).”
Cumulative risk and child development. (2013, background): “Finally, earlier we discussed how evolutionary biology provides insight about formulating domains of risk in terms of their relative salience for resource allocation among body maintenance, growth, and reproduction (Ellis et al., 2009).”
The Evolution of Culturally-Variable Sex Differences: Men and Women Are Not Always Different, but When They Are…It Appears Not to Result from Patriarchy or Sex Role Socialization (2015, background): “…(Geary 2002; Kaplan and Gangestad 2005), and the related concept of “evoked culture” (Tooby and Cosmides 1992) have generated a wealth of findings on the adaptive effects of ecological variability on human psychology (Ellis et al. 2009; Del et al. 2010; Griskevicius et al. 2011; Nettle 2009).”
