Question
aarav believes that his obsession with his appearance and bodybuilding is a result of genes he inherited from his ancestors, which motivate him to look good for women so he can find a suitable mate. which field of psychology is most consistent with his view?
cognitive neuroscience
evolutionary psychology
behavioral neuroscience
behaviorism
Evolutionary psychology focuses on how evolutionary processes (like inherited genes) shape behavior, especially for survival and reproduction (finding a mate here). Cognitive neuroscience studies brain - cognition links, behavioral neuroscience focuses on brain - behavior/neurobiological links, and behaviorism focuses on observable behavior and conditioning. Aarav's view ties behavior to inherited genes for mating, so evolutionary psychology fits.
