Deep dives
The Evolution of Pride
Pride is an emotion linked to the display of power and resources within social hierarchies. It helps individuals assert and maintain their positions in the hierarchy, particularly in areas such as wealth and territory. Prideful individuals often achieve higher status and reproductive success, leading prideful genes to be passed down generations. The neuroscience of pride involves the striatum and amygdala, which evoke unconscious emotions, and the medial prefrontal cortex, which engages conscious self-awareness. Studies show that manipulating the medial prefrontal cortex impairs the ability to feel pride and promotes self-awareness and self-criticism.
