  • More about Personality, Values, Culture: An Evolutionary Approach

Using evolutionary psychology, Fischer develops a holistic model of personality that includes both what we do (our personality traits) and what motivates us (our values). This model is used to explain how and why people differ around the world and how genes, economics, social conditions, and climate jointly shape personality.

Format: Hardback
Length: 270 pages
Publication date: 28 December 2017
Publisher: Cambridge University Press


Humans, intricate social creatures, demand a comprehensive understanding of their behavior. This necessitates a multifaceted approach that considers both our routine actions (our personality traits) and the underlying motivations that drive us (our values). Personality, Values, Culture adopts an evolutionary lens to explore the similarities and disparities in personality and values across contemporary societies. By integrating research on personality and human values within a functional framework that emphasizes their inherent compatibility (rooted in shared genetic and brain mechanisms), Fischer elucidates how personality is shaped by the intricate interplay between genes and the environment, spanning both human evolution and individual lifetimes. He presents a gene-culture coevolution model of personality and values to elucidate the factors that contribute to global variations in people's personalities and how genes, economics, social conditions, and climate interactively mold these traits.
