The cultural evolution of social hierarchy: an experimental investigation
Picture the scenario: a friend starts a?new job. Is she more likely to learn from the assertive, intimidating supervisor whom her new colleagues fear, or from the thoughtful, reserved supervisor whom they look up to and respect? How people acquire information from others, “social learning”, has been explored widely in academia, but the wider social context within which they do so has?not. There has been little study of how the socio-hierarchical organisation of human groups influences social learning. This project will combine cultural evolutionary theories from biology and anthropology with experimental social psychology and behavioural economics methodologies. The team will explore how social learning unfolds within, and may itself generate, social hierarchies. The researchers will also examine how social learning can generate social hierarchies based on?knowledge exchange.
