This explanatory and prescriptive confidence has attracted support and provoked criticism. Regrettably, all too often both positive and negative receptions of EP have been determined by political ideology.
For the political right, EP's conclusions reinforce individualism and the free market. Conversely, on the left, EP is interpreted as part of the broader assault on collectivism and on the prospects for more cooperative and egalitarian social models. Moreover, EP's stress on human universals and on innate behavioral differences between the sexes simultaneously conflicts both with the left's current preoccupation with diversity and multiculturalism, and with its feminism.
