(2017): The Evolutionary Mismatch Hypothesis. Implications for Psychological Science. In: Current Directions in Psychological Science 27 (1), S. 38-44. DOI: 10.1177/0963721417731378
Abstract: Human psychological mechanisms are adaptations that evolved to process environmental inputs, turning them into behavioral outputs that, on average, increase survival or reproductive prospects. Modern contexts, however, differ vastly from the environments that existed as human psychological mechanisms evolved. Many inputs now differ in quantity and intensity or no longer have the same fitness associations, thereby leading many mechanisms to produce maladaptive output. We present the precepts of this evolutionary mismatch process, highlight areas of mismatch, and consider implications for psychological science and policy.

(2017): THE IMPORTANCE OF FACILITATION IN SUCCESSFUL ADAPTATION. In: Science and Education 23 (7), S. 142-146. DOI: 10.24195/2414-4665-2017-7-23
Abstract: This paper presents the data concerning the connectedness of the facilitative potential components, its manifestation in different fields of vital activity, basic senses of helping behaviour and socio-psychological adaptability. Based on the results of multiple regressive analysis, there has been established the importance of all facilitation aspects in order to predict personality adaptability. It has been proved that persons with developed facilitation have a higher degree of adaptability (on the sample of socionomic professions). The study of the peculiarities of adaptation directly in a complex life situation which is the process of accommodation to a foreign environment that can be combined with the beginning of family relations and is a rather tense and difficult period in subjects' lives has shown the importance of the facilitative ability in the success of its course. The obtained data provide valuable information on possible ways to increase the individual adaptivity through the development, formation of their facilitative potential, as well as the facilitative qualities of the social environment.

(2015): Has the World Changed?. My Neighbor Might Know: Effects of Social Context on Routine Deviation. In: Journal of Behavioral Decision Making 28 (1), S. 50-66. DOI: 10.1002/bdm.1828
Abstract: Investigated the effects of social context on deviations from routines. 94 students (mean age 21 years) were asked to repeatedly choose among four gambles that were represented by four decks of cards. After the routine acquisition phase, unbeknownst to the participants, the underlying payoff structure of the game was altered so that the routine choice no longer yielded a profit. In addition, a confederate served as a behavioral model who made the normative choice most of the time in the acquisition phase, the test phase, in both phases, or in no phase at all (baseline). Results showed that participants were influenced by prior success of a routine; however, they were not immune to new counterevidence. The new evidence had to compensate prior knowledge before individuals decided to abandon their routine. Participants were most likely to adapt if the confederate served as a behavioral model in both the acquisition and test phases. It is concluded that participants could detect a lasting change in the environment and trustworthy behavioral models helped participants overcome a previously adaptive routine. zitiert von 5

(2014): Tracking managerial conflict adaptivity. Introducing a dynamic measure of adaptive conflict management in organizations. In: Journal of Organizational Behavior 35 (7), S. 945-968. DOI: 10.1002/job.1935
Abstract: Since Darwin, adaptation to change has been associated with survival and fit. Yet, despite this, leaders and managers often get stuck in dominating approaches to conflict, and few scholars have examined the role of adaptation in managing conflicts effectively over time and across changing situations. The goal of this paper is threefold. First, we develop a new measure for assessing conflict adaptivity of managers [the Managerial Conflict Adaptivity Assessment (MCAA)], based on a situated model of conflict in social relations. We define conflict adaptivity as the capacity to respond to different conflict situations in accordance with the demands specified by the situation. The measure consists of 15 distinct work-conflict scenarios and provides five behavioral response options, which represent five primary strategies employed in conflict. Individuals who tend to respond to the conflicts in a manner consistent with the situations provided are considered to be more adaptive. Second, we test and find that managerial conflict adaptivity is related to higher levels of satisfaction with conflict processes at work as well as higher levels of well-being at work. Third, we test the MCAA's construct validity and provide evidence that the MCAA is positively related to behavioral flexibility and self-efficacy.

(2013): Being and feeling in sync with an adaptive virtual partner. Brain mechanisms underlying dynamic cooperativity. In: Cerebral cortex (New York, N.Y. : 1991) 23 (11), S. 2592-2600. DOI: 10.1093/cercor/bhs243
DOI: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22892422 Abstract: Cooperation is intrinsic to the human ability to work together toward common goals, and depends on sensing and reacting to dynamically changing relationships between coacting partners. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and a paradigm in which an adaptive pacing signal simulates a virtual partner, we examined the neural substrates underlying dynamic joint action. A single parameter controlled the degree to which the virtual partner adapted its behavior in relation to participant taps, thus simulating varying degrees of cooperativity. Analyses of fMRI data using objective and subjective measures of synchronization quality found the relative balance of activity in two distinct neural networks to depend on the degree of the virtual partner's adaptivity. At lower degrees of adaptivity, when the virtual partner was easier to synchronize with, cortical midline structures were activated in conjunction with premotor areas, suggesting a link between the action and socio-affective components of cooperation. By contrast, right lateral prefrontal areas associated with central executive control processes were recruited during more cognitively challenging interactions while synchronizing with an overly adaptive virtual partner. Together, the reduced adaptive sensorimotor synchronization paradigm and pattern of results illuminate neural mechanisms that may underlie the socio-emotional consequences of different degrees of entrainment success.
