The Handbook of Disgust Research
This volume brings together the world's leading experts on disgust to fully explore this understudied behavior. Disgust is unique among emotions. It is, at once, perhaps the most “basic” and visceral of feelings while also being profoundly shaped by learning and culture. Evident from the earliest months of life, disgust influences individual behavior and shapes societies across political, social, economic, legal, ecological, and health contexts. As an emotion that evolved to prevent our eating contaminated foods, disgust is now known to motivate wider behaviors, social processes, and customs. On a global scale, disgust finds a place in population health initiatives, from hand hygiene to ...
Evolutionary Neuropsychology
In "Evolutionary neuropsychology", Coolidge examines the evolutionary origins of the human brain. A new multidisciplinary science, evolutionary neuropsychology assumes that brain regions developed their functions in response to environmental challenges over billions of years. These regions and neuronal circuitry now serve newer functions (exaptations) and are now involved in many higher cognitive functions.
Narrative Science
The first systematic analysis of the ways scientists have used narrative in their research.
Shakespeare and Disgust
Drawing on both historical analysis and theories from the modern affective sciences, Shakespeare and Disgust argues that the experience of revulsion is one of Shakespeare's central dramatic concerns. Known as the 'gatekeeper emotion', disgust is the affective process through which humans protect the boundaries of their physical bodies from material contaminants and their social bodies from moral contaminants. Accordingly, the emotion provided Shakespeare with a master category of compositional tools – poetic images, thematic considerations and narrative possibilities – to interrogate the violation and preservation of such boundaries, whether in the form of compromised bodies, compromised...
The Oxford Handbook of Evolutionary Psychology and Romantic Relationships
This handbook showcases the empirical and theoretical advancements produced by the evolutionary study of romantic relationships, tracing evolved psychological mechanisms that shape strategic computation and behavior across the lifespan of a romantic partnership. It discusses popular and cutting-edge methods for data analysis and theory development, critically analyzing the state of evolutionary relationship science and recommendations for future research.
The Oxford Handbook of Evolution and the Emotions
In this Handbook, Laith Al-Shawaf and Todd K. Shackelford have gathered a group of leading scholars in the field to present a centralized resource for researchers and students wishing to understand emotions from an evolutionary perspective. Experts from a number of different disciplines, including psychology, biology, anthropology, psychiatry, and others, tackle a variety of "how" (proximate) and "why" (ultimate) questions about the function of emotions in humans and nonhuman animals, how emotions work, and their place in human life. Comprehensive and integrative in nature, this Handbook is an essential resource for students and scholars from a diversity of fields wishing to build upon their theoretical and empirical understanding of the emotions.

The Oxford Handbook of Evolution and the Emotions
"This book provides a cutting-edge overview of emotion science from an evolutionary perspective. Section 1 outlines different ways of approaching the study of emotion, Section 2 covers specific emotions from an evolutionary perspective, Section 3 discusses the role of emotions in a variety of life domains, and Section 4 explores the relationship between emotions and psychological disorders. Experts from a number of different disciplines - psychology, biology, anthropology, psychiatry, and more - tackle a variety of "how" (proximate) and "why" (ultimate) questions about the function of emotions in humans and nonhuman animals, how emotions work, and their place in human life. This volume documents the explosion of knowledge in emotion science over the last few decades, outlines important areas of future research, and highlights key questions that have yet to be answered"--
