Parochial altruism

  • ... that parochial altruism, a concept in social psychology and evolutionary biology, explains why people are often altruistic towards their own social group while displaying hostility towards out-groups?

Created by Monacpsych (talk). Self-nominated at 20:03, 7 December 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Parochial altruism; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: No - It seems to be a definition for those familiar with relevant concepts, rather than a hook for a general audience. Does not attempt to intrigue the reader with, for example, how the concept explains what it purports to explain.
QPQ: None required.
Overall: While DYK criteria are not GA criteria, the GA review revealed that the article is not presently eligible for a DYK hook. There has not been movement to address these considerable issues—the nominator's last edit was on 10 December, well before the GA review started. Rejecting. Remsense 01:32, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
