The socio-ecological factors that exert pressure on human values and practices to evolve in dynamic ways are numerous. We examine the evolution of culture due to conditions created by long-history migration. The populations of today’s countries and other geographic regions have descended from an uneven influx of people from different cultural and linguistic traditions. We suggest that the challenges of social living in contexts of historic intergroup mingling over long timescales, which include social unpredictability, linguistic variability, and a collision of conflicting social norms, constitute contexts that encourage cultural evolution. We show that societies of high ancestral diversity are marked by social unpredictability in that they involve greater relational mobility and normative looseness than societies of low ancestral diversity. In these contexts, outgroup attitudes are somewhat more sanguine, and perhaps consequently, people are more open to new experiences and relationships. To manage this social complexity, we show that cultures of emotion that emerge in ancestrally diverse societies involve 1) emotional expressiveness and 2) expressive accuracy, 3) the frequent use of smiles potentially to communicate preferences and establish trust, and 4) regular exercise of the balance between sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems to support a high level of non-verbal communication and informational exchange. We also present evidence to motivate the hypothesis that languages evolve in predictable ways in ancestrally diverse societies. Specifically, features of language that facilitate language acquisition by adult learners, such as compressibility, should become more common in ancestrally diverse contexts. We end by raising questions about the time course for the of cultural evolution of emotion practices and the effects of power dynamics between interacting groups on the content of new cultural practices.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72748,"journal":{"name":"Current research in ecological and social psychology","volume":"9 ","pages":"Article 100243"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145219118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results reveal that malleable materials like plaster and clay are linked to curved roofs, while wood is associated with larger structures. Larger buildings were more likely to support communal worship, whereas curved roofs were negatively associated with individual worship. Path analyses suggest that the relationship between materials and religious practices is accounted for by the architectural features, such as size and roof type, that those materials afford.

In Study 1, we tested the statistical overlap between honor concern domains with RWA and SDO using a meta-analysis (<em>k</em> = 16; <em>n</em> = 5053). Results identified group honor concern as the most distinct, sharing only moderate overlap with RWA; masculine and feminine honor concern were strongly positively correlated with RWA. Group honor was not correlated with SDO, while masculine and feminine honor concern were strongly and weakly positively correlated with SDO respectively. However, the original studies did not examine each as distinct predictors of prejudice-related outcomes (e.g., patriotism and trait aggression). In Study 2, data collected from online samples from USA and Italy (<em>n</em> = 298) addressed this gap. Latent variable models indicated that group honor concern positively predicted patriotism and negatively predicted general trait aggression, over and above RWA and SDO. Overall, these studies suggest that group honor concern, RWA, and SDO share conceptual similarities but are distinct. Further research is needed to examine the specific contexts in which group honor concern predicts heightened aggression and prejudice.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72748,"journal":{"name":"Current research in ecological and social psychology","volume":"9 ","pages":"Article 100238"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144879928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Typically, when there is evidence against measurement invariance, the analysis ends. Here, we introduce readers to an alternative perspective on measurement invariance that shifts the focus from statistical procedures to causality. From that angle, violations of measurement invariance imply that there are potentially interesting differences in the measurement process between the groups, which could warrant explanations in their own right. We illustrate this with hypothetical examples of substantively meaningful violations of metric, scalar, and residual invariance. At the same time, standard procedures to test for measurement invariance rest on strong causal assumptions about the data-generating process that researchers may often be unwilling to endorse in other contexts. We point out two very different ways forward. First, for researchers who want to commit to latent factor models, violations of measurement invariance can be followed up with investigations into <em>why</em> those violations occur, turning them from a dead end into new research questions. Second, for researchers who feel more ambivalent about latent factor models, alternatives may be considered, and group differences on sum scores and item scores may be reported anyway as interesting descriptive findings—but they should be followed up with discussions of various explanations that take into account their plausibility.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72748,"journal":{"name":"Current research in ecological and social psychology","volume":"9 ","pages":"Article 100241"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145104277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
