The Oxford Handbook of Evolutionary Psychology and Behavioral Endocrinology by Lisa L M Welling

The Oxford Handbook of Evolutionary Psychology and Behavioral Endocrinology offers a comprehensive and compelling review of research in behavioral endocrinology from an evolutionary perspective on human psychology. Chapters, written by renowned experts on human behavior, explore a number of subtopics within one of three themes (1) development and survival, (2) reproductive behavior, and (3) social and affective behavior. Such topics include hormonal influences on life history strategy, mate choice, aggression, human hierarchical structure, and mood disorders. This Handbook is situated at the intersection of evolutionary psychology and behavioral endocrinology. Its interdisciplinary approach makes it an important resource for a broad spectrum of researchers, graduate students, and advanced undergraduates who are interested in studying the motivations and mechanisms that affect behavior.

The goal of this intersectional handbook is to demonstrate that evolutionary psychology and behavioral endocrinology offer complementary perspectives for understanding and interpreting human psychology and behaviorEditors Welling and Shackelford want the research reviewed herein to help readers and investigators interested in behavioral endocrinology to approach empirical inquiry using the framework provided by evolutionary psychology.
