| summary | It is not surprising that people want to be — or, to be perceived as — “authentic”. Authenticity has reputational consequences, in addition to having a positive relation with psychological well-being; inauthenticity, on the other hand, has been likened to moral violations, causing aversion towards that which is perceived as somehow “tainted”. However, there is little agreement on what authenticity is when applied to persons, and how judgments of it are formed. Studies have shown that people tend to consider morally good actions as more reflective of a person’s true self. Given this, we could expect there to be a bias towards considering morally good behaviors as more authentic across the board, but people are often also skeptical of others’ motivations for doing good. How can these findings be reconciled? In this talk, I’ll give a brief summary of authenticity research so far, connecting it to partner choice mechanisms and partner competition, and argue that taking evolution into account can steer it in new, more fruitful directions. |
