We illustrate our framework's value through 3 key dimensions: kin presence 👪, violence 🛡️, and sex-age ratio ⚖️.
⭐ Building on Lewin’s field theory and integrating affordance management with life-history perspectives, we offer a more nuanced, temporally dynamic, and evolutionarily grounded framework✨

We actively manage ‘ecological affordances’ by:
1️⃣ fine-tuning how attentively and emotionally we respond to environmental cues,
2️⃣ adjusting how we think, feel, and behave,
3️⃣ restructuring our environments (e.g., relocating)
to align with shifting life-stage goals 🎯

Why does living near family feel essential in childhood 🥰, suffocating in young adulthood 😮💨, and lifesaving in parenthood 🥹? Because you changed!
What the environment affords (aka ‘ecological affordances’) depends on one’s goals 🎯, which shift across life stages. So do your strategies.

3️⃣ Feeling disgust bridged threat perception and avoidance behavior—within the same individual over time (again)!
Overall, our research revealed how flexible the ‘behavioral immune system’ can be—long-theorized flexibility, finally demonstrated using real-world longitudinal data!

2️⃣ This threat perception shifted dynamically within the same person over time. Americans who became more disease-avoidant (than their own baseline) when new COVID cases surged, saw Republicans as more infectious—*even among Republican supporters*.
Real-time ecological recalibration!
