Wonderful to see such integrative work. I wish we'd have a better overview of the socioecological environments people w mental health probs live in. Automatically equating doing poorly in very poor situations with mental illness is really problematic.

“overparenting within high-income countries presents an underappreciated example of evolutionary mismatch to prevailing socioecological conditions”
New paper out today with Zhian Chen.
We argue that modern intensive parenting is not only exhausting for parents, but in some cases disrupts healthy child development.
What is 'overparenting'? And can evolutionary theory help us understand how we got here?

This is great research! It shows with data that a lot of what we hear about the "unpopularity" of radical socioecological ideas is not about people, but rather the lack of popularity with mainstream policymakers and market agents.
There's a lot of ground on which to build!
