> This school of sociology will be in conflict with rational choice theories.

It's not a conflict because the rational choice theories are about what people actually choose to do, not what their instincts are urging them to do. I can't recall any occasion where it was claimed that instincts or urges are expected to be rational; rather the opposite. Moreover, even if people do act on those urges, what evidence is there to say that they do *not* expect this course of action to best satisfy their own preferences in that moment?

I don't think this is a proper place to debate details about certain social-psychological ideas, people have too many opinions about this and I take it you agree with the first three paragraphs so, we are mostly agreeing anyway.
