Some take "evolution-mindedness" to mean "phylogeny-mindedness," whereas others take it to mean "adaptationmindedness." Historically, comparative psychology began as the search for mental continuities between humans and other animals: aphylogenetic approach. Indepen...

Economic institutions structure links between labor-market informality and social stratification. The present study explores how periods of institutional change and post-socialist market transition alter network-based job finding, in particular informal recruitment.

Studies carried out in many countries in previous decades found that women were more conservative than men and less likely to participate in politics. Here, it is examined whether this traditional gender gap persists today, or whether gender cleavages in the electorate have converged, and whether the phenomenon of the modern gender gap, with women more left wing, has become evident elsewhere.
