  • Gigerenzer, Gerd (1997) : The modularity of social intelligence In: Whiten, Andrew; Byrne, Richard W. (Hg.): Machiavellian intelligence II. Extensions and evaluations: Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, S. 264-288

    Abstract: Argues that the social intelligence hypothesis, while stimulating and exciting, is vague and imprecise, and that some of its propositions are empirically empty and should be dropped. A "modular" version of the social intelligence hypothesis is proposed, which offers a specific theory about the mechanisms of social intelligence. Assumptions of this hypothesis are discussed in detail and an example of an experimental test of the resulting predictions illustrates that the hypothesis produces testable predictions and can explain apparently contradictory data previously considered irrational. It is argued that the investigation of social intelligence should be driven by theory and empirically tested and that the modular version outlined offers a starting point.
