Abstract
Scientific research cooperation has become a mainstream trend of social development. It can promote resource sharing, help group members complement each other’s advantages, and improve scientific research efficiency. With the deepening of scientific research cooperation, there have also been problems such as the uneven strength of partners, gender discrimination, and group exclusionary behavior. People often explore the causes of these problems in terms of the process of scientific research cooperation, but doing so fails to solve the substantive problems effectively. We thus seek to trace the psychology of people participating in scientific research cooperation from the perspective of evolutionary psychology so as to analyze the root causes of scientific research cooperation problems. This paper first discusses the importance of scientific research cooperation, then enumerates common problems in scientific research cooperation, analyzes them from the perspective of evolutionary psychology, and proposes solutions to these problems from the perspective of regulating people’s psychology. This article illustrates how the many perspectives and theories of evolutionary psychology can solve problems in other disciplines and fields, and indeed that all human social activities can be explained by evolutionary psychology, which opens up a broader field of research for evolutionary psychology.
Highlights
THE IMPORTANCE OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH COOPERATIONSince the birth of human society, cooperation has accompanied human development
Collaboration with free-riding behaviors with various signatures stems from selfishness and reciprocal altruism, and we suggest that the other collaborators should inform their peers of free-riding behavior partners, reducing their social recognition and opportunities for scientific research cooperation
The phenomenon of unequal cooperation stems from the most primitive level of domination, and the strategy proposed to address this is to turn the psychology of needing social identity to obtain more resources toward affirming the contribution of the strong party and publicizing its contribution to the cooperation
Summary
Since the birth of human society, cooperation has accompanied human development. Related research projects have encountered problems such as difficult goals, large investment, and lack of talent (Xie and Liu, 2006). Under these circumstances, scientific research cooperation is an effective way for the parties to share resources, complement each other’s advantages, and. In an early work on the sociology of science, Merton pointed out that the development of science will gradually merge with the needs of society, mainly through scientific research exchange, competition, and cooperation. Scientific research cooperation will become an important driving force for the development of scientific productivity as well as an inevitable trend of social development
