Explanation of Facets:
Evolution Skeptic vs. Belief in Evolution
Measures whether you believe in Darwin’s theory of evolution or are skeptical of it.
Other Psychology vs. Evolutionary Psychology
Measures whether you believe in theories from evolutionary psychology or are skeptical of them. Also predicts whether your basic approach to psychology is an evolutionary one, or whether you prefer an alternative approach (such as behavioral, cognitive, humanistic, etc.).
Withhold Evolutionary Theories vs. Report Evolutionary Theories
Measures whether you would prefer theories from evolutionary psychology to be widely reported or withheld from mainstream discussion. A preference for withholding is often tied to concerns that such theories will be used to justify unequal treatment of women and excuse men for behaving badly.
