American professor of anthropology

Alan Page Fiske (born 1947) is an American professor of anthropology at the University of California, Los Angeles, known for studying the nature of human relationships and cross-cultural variations between them.[1]

Early life and education[edit]

Fiske was born in 1947. His father, Donald W. Fiske, was a professor of psychology at the University of Chicago.[2] His sister, Susan Fiske, is a social psychologist who is the Eugene Higgins Professor of Psychology and Public Affairs at Princeton University.[3]

Fiske earned a bachelor's degree, cum laude, in social relations from Harvard College in 1968. He went on to earn a master's degree in 1973 and a Ph.D. in 1985, both from the University of Chicago, focusing on cross-cultural problems and human development.[4] Between earning degrees, Fiske worked as a director and consultant to the Peace Corps in Bangladesh and Upper Volta, and as consultant to USAID for the Central African Republic.[4]

Fiske held various professorships at the University of Pennsylvania, UCSD, Swarthmore College, and Bryn Mawr College, before obtaining a full professorship at UCLA in 2002. There he is former director of the Center for Behavior, Evolution, and Culture, and of the Center for Culture, Brain, and Development.[4] His areas of research interest include psychological anthropology, social relationships, and theories of violence.[5] Fiske is the author of Relational Models Theory[6] and, with Tage Rai, the author of Virtuous Violence Theory - the idea that violence is largely motivated by the evolved social relations models which underlie moral behavior in Fiske's theory, and that this violence is therefore experienced as justified by the perpetrators in the same way that forceful opposition to perpetrators of violence is perceived as laudable and moral.[7]
