Currently, I am
pursuing two main lines of
research questions which derive from taking an evolutionary
psychological perspective on perceptions, emotions and motivations.
- Interpersonal conflict and violence:
These studies in collaboration with Martin Daly and others are mainly
epidemiological analyses of patterns of risk of lethal and nonlethal
violence in different categories of relationships, especially, marital
and parent-offspring relationships.
- Perceptions and valuations of the
environment: A multi-disciplinary research project, Ecowise, was
initiated at McMaster University to study various aspects of the
ecosystem of Hamilton Harbour and Cootes Paradise. Some of the research
on what people like and know about this ecosystem is described at the Ecowise website.
