The scientific study of human mating has mushroomed over the past
three decades, and this growth in turn has generated a
proliferation of evolving literature revealing fresh discoveries
about mate attraction, mate choice, mate retention, marital
satisfaction, jealousy, infidelity, intimate partner violence,
breakups, internet dating, cyberstalking, and sexual coercion. In
The Oxford Handbook of Human Mating, editor David M. Buss showcases
contributions from "the best and the brightest" scientists in the
field, providing up-to-date summaries of theories and empirical
evidence of the science of human mating strategies. Much of the
research in the field is guided by sexual selection theory. Over
150 years after Darwin's proposal of sexual selection theory, it
has become the most important overarching theoretical framework for
the scientific study of the mating strategies of all sexually
reproducing species, including humans. A mountain of research
centered around Darwin's classic book has documented the many
complexities of human mate competition and mate choice; how these
processes differ between the sexes; and how they differ as a
function of sex ratio, mate value, social contexts, ovulation
cycles, personality characteristics, and cultural norms and mating
rituals. Thus, the science is now ripe for a collection of work by
eminent scholars in the field. David M. Buss is a leading
researcher and pioneer in the study of human mating strategies, and
he applies his expertise to the curation of this volume, which
includes major sections covering theories of human mating; mate
selection and mate attraction; mate competition; sexual conflict in
mating; human pair bonding; the endocrinology of mating; and mating
in the modern world.
