The Social Psychophysics of Cooperation: Nonverbal Communication in a Public Goods Game (2001, background): “If indeed male psychology is well designed for cooperating because of adaptations for intergroup conflict ( Kurzban & Leary, 2001; Sidanius & Pratto, 2001; Tooby & Cosmides, 1988), then the ease with which males form cooperative associations is also the ease with which males can form groups for the”
The Behavioral Immune System (2015, background): “Much evidence implicates the behavioral immune system in the stigmatization of, and prejudice against, different categories of people (Kurzban & Leary, 2001; Oaten, Stevenson, & Case, 2011; Schaller & Neuberg, 2012).”
Criticizing and reassuring oneself: An exploration of forms, styles and reasons in female students. (2004, background): “Moreover, the motives and beliefs involved in this style of relating may be those also underpinning forms of stigmatization, ostracism, and persecution (Kurzban & Leary, 2001).”
Help-Seeking Experiences and Attitudes among African American, Asian American, and European American College Students (2009, background): “As a result, such stigmatized individuals are viewed as incompetent, unpredictable, or threatening ( Kurzban and Leary 2001 ).”
Disgust as a disease-avoidance mechanism. (2009, background): “More pertinently here, and again as with animals, it has been argued that humans have a repertoire of behaviors that function to minimize contact with pathogens (e.g., Curtis, Aunger, & Rabie, 2004; Gangestad & Buss, 1993; Kurzban & Leary, 2001).”
Pathogen-avoidance mechanisms and the stigmatization of obese people (2007, background): “In this domain, false negatives impose substantially greater fitness costs than false positives; consequently, the inferential mechanisms are likely to be biased toward minimizing false negatives (Haselton & Nettle, 2006; Kurzban & Leary, 2001; Nesse, 2005).”
Disease avoidance and ethnocentrism: the effects of disease vulnerability and disgust sensitivity on intergroup attitudes (2006, background): “Building on a budding body of work in this area (Kurzban & Leary, 2001; Park, Faulkner, & Schaller, 2003), Faulkner, Schaller, Park, & Duncan (2004) recently proposed a model linking disease avoidance and xenophobia, where negativity toward the out-group reflects an adaptive strategy to avoid…”
The Effect of Social Category on Third Party Punishment (2007, background): “Under ancestral conditions, in-group members represented opportunities for exchange, friendship, mating, and coalitional alliance, affordances out-group members were less likely to share (Kurzban and Leary, 2001).”
Elevated ethnocentrism in the first trimester of pregnancy (2007, background): “…addresses the dehumanization of outgroup members, only recently have investigators explored the connection between disease and intergroup attitudes (Faulkner, Schaller, Park, & Duncan, 2004; Kurzban & Leary, 2001; Navarrete & Fessler, 2006; Park, Faulkner, & Schaller, 2003; Schaller, 2003).”
Adaptive rationality: An evolutionary perspective on cognitive bias (2009, neutral): “Kurzban and Leary (2001) proposed precisely this logic as an explanation for the pervasiveness of stigma associated with physical disabilities.”
Parasites, Behavioral Defenses, and the Social Psychological Mechanisms Through Which Cultures Are Evoked (2006, background): “…mind too is characterized by mechanisms designed to recognize and respond negatively to individuals who show signs of parasite infections—and to do so especially under conditions in which the risk of parasitic infection is especially high (Kurzban & Leary, 2001; Schaller, Park, & Faulkner, 2003).”
The social psychology of stigma. (2005, background): “…that (a) they are a poor partner for social exchange (e.g., a convict), (b) they might carry parasitic infection (e.g., a physical deformity), or (c) they are a member of an outgroup that can be exploited for ingroup gain (Kurzban & Leary 2001; see also Neuberg et al. 2000, Park et al. 2003).”
Danger, Disease, and the Nature of Prejudice(s) (2012, background): “Thus, any subjectively deviant appearance might implicitly connote, in the minds of perceivers, the presence of infectious disease (Kurzban & Leary, 2001; Oaten, Stevenson, & Case, 2011).”
