TOPLUMDA GÖRÜLEN ŞİDDET DAVRANIŞINA EVRİMSEL YAKLAŞIM

Evrimsel psikoloji; hayatta kalma, ortama uyum sağlama ve tüm psikolojik olguları anlamaya yönelik temel bir çatı oluşturan bir bilim dalı olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Şiddet davranışı evrimsel psikolojik bakış açısıyla açıklandığında, insanların hayatta kalma ve ortama uyum sağlamalarında rol oynadığı düşünülmektedir. Bunun yanı sıra, şiddet davranışı zaman içerisinde kültürün etkisiyle farklılaşmış ve hayatta kalma mekanizması olmanın dışına çıkmaya başlamıştır. Erkeklerde ve kadınlarda şiddet davranışı, toplu şiddet, öz kıyım, cinayet, tecavüz gibi şiddet davranışlarının evrimsel psikoloji çerçevesinde tartışılması ve açıklanması şiddet davranışı kabul edilebilir kılmamakla birlikte, bu davranışlara ait dinamiklerin daha iyi anlaşılması açısından önem taşımaktadır. Şiddet olgusunun evrimsel bakış açısından ele alınması, şiddetin ilkel nedenlerine dair açıklamalar sunmaktadır. Günümüzde şiddeti sadece bu bakış açısıyla açıklamak mümkün olmamakla birlikte sosyolojik, biyolojik ve psikolojik açıklamalar da göz ardı edilmemelidir.

REVIEW OF VIOLENCE BEHAVIOR IN HUMANS FROM THE EVOLUTIONARY PERSPECTIVE

Evolutionary psychology is the field of a psychology that explains human behaviors of surviving and adaptation skills. Evolutionary psychology is the field of psychology that helps to explain humans’ skills of survival and adaptation. When we explain aggression by evolutionary psychology perspective, aggressive behavior seems to be the crucial part of survival and adaptation. In addition to that, aggressive behavior is diverted within time with culture and it passed beyond being a survival mechanism. Topics like violence in men and women, collective violence, suicide, homicide and rape are important to be discussed and explained by evolutionary psychology perspective to understand its dynamics. An evolutionary view of the phenomenon of violence may emerge explanations for the primitive ages of violence. Today, although it is not possible to explain violence solely with this point of view, sociological, biological and psychological explanations should not be ignored at all.
