Lecture 12 - Evolution, Emotion, and Reason: Emotions, Part II

This video was recorded at YALE PSYC 110 - Introduction to Psychology with Professor Paul Bloom. Professor Bloom continues the discussion of emotions as useful evolutionary adaptations for dealing with our social environment. In particular, this lecture describes evolutionary explanations for several important emotional responses, such as the love between parents and their offspring, the gratitude we feel towards cooperative behaviors, the spite we feel for cheaters, and the cultural differences in feelings of revenge.
