5009.4 Fear or enthusiasm concerning globalisation and its effects on identity among Hungarian
young adults before joining the EU, M. Fülöp 1 , B. Terecskei 2 , 1 Institute for Psychology,

Relatively little empirical research exists on the topic of globalization in relation to identity among
young people living in societies that are just about to join the European Union. The aim of the
present study was to reveal Hungarian university students’ views concerning globalization. We
employed a questionnaire with open-ended questions. Qualitative analyses revealed the specific
fears and joys, disadvantages and advantages young Hungarians attribute to globalization and its
consequences in connection with European, national and individual identity. In terms of national,
cultural identity fears dominated their views, while in general they attributed more positive values
and consequences to globalization.
5010 INVITED SYMPOSIUM
Evolutionary psychology of family.
Convener and Chair: T. Hasegawa, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan
Co-convener: M. Hiraiwa-Hasegawa, Japan
5010.1 Birth order, familial sentiment and personality: Data from Japan, T. Kobayashi, T.
Hasegawa, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan
The last decade of research from the evolutionary perspective have provided empirical and
theoretical evidence about the impact of family on various psychological/behavioral aspects, in
particular personality, friendship, and familial sentiments. Previous studies in samples from
diverse countries showed substantial effects of birth order on familial sentiment, closeness to kin,
or Big-five personality (e.g., Rohde, et al., 2003; Salmon & Daly, 1998). Similar results are also
shown in the present study using Japanese sample (N= 777 undergraduates). Nevertheless, there
are inconsistent or dissimilar findings in some aspects, which are discussed in light of
evolutionary hypothesis or the difference of culture (Western vs. Asian cultures).

We analyzed patterns and causes of filial and spousal homicide in Korea, using three data sets that
are spread apart over the three centuries (years 1775-1794, 1895-1907, and 1994-1999). This is
the first attempt to analyze Korean data from the viewpoints of evolutionary psychology. Although
the data came from widely different types of societies, i.e. monarchical Confucian society vs.
modern democratic society, the results were largely consistent with the prediction of Daly and
Wilson’s (1988). Child’s reproductive value and male sexual proprietariness appeared the most
important factors in filial and spousal homicide, respectively.
