Lisa L.M. Welling is Associate Professor of Psychology at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan. Dr. Welling received her Ph.D. in 2008 from the University of Aberdeen in the United Kingdom. She heads the Welling Research Laboratory, where her and her students' research focusses on behaviors related to sexual selection, with a special focus on hormonal mediation.Todd K. Shackelford is Distinguished Professor and Chair of the Department of Psychology at Oakland University. He received his Ph.D. in evolutionary psychology in 1997 from the University of Texas at Austin. Much of Dr. Shackelford's research addresses sexual conflict between men and women, with a special focus on testing hypotheses derived from sperm competition theory.

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 behavior. Editors 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.
