About this product
Product Information
Love, sexuality, and mate selection are fundamental human experiences. Inherently linked, they are best understood in relation to one another. Yet most of the current texts on love and marriage are written from a purely psychological perspective, while those on human sexuality tend to be written from a biological or physiological perspective.The Mating Game: A Primer on Love, Sex, and Marriage combines theory and research from a wide array of disciplines to explore these three major aspects of human mating dynamics. This engaging, interdisciplinary primer is divided into four parts that encompass a wide range of theoretical and empirical work: Part One considers the topic of love, Part Two examines relational sexuality, Part Three focuses on mate selection and marriage, and Part Four summarizes individual differences in relationship orientation.Key FeaturesExplanations of theory and research from a variety of social and behavioral sciences that highlight the links between these interrelated topics Extensive measurement instruments and an understanding of how to interpret research Provocative examples and anecdotes to capture the attention of students Chapter outlines, lists of key terms and concepts, section introductions, chapter summaries, recommended readings, and discussion questionsStrongly grounded in methodology and research design, The Mating Game provides a comprehensive review of the nature of love, the role ofsex in relationships, and theories of human attraction. Pamela C. Regan presents inclusive information collected from both cross cultural and multicultural samples.Designed to promote active learning and spark debate for upper-division undergraduate and graduate students in courses on Interpersonal or Close Relationships, Marriage and Family, and Human Sexuality, The Mating Game is also an indispensable resource for psychologists, therapists, and health professionals.
