David Michael Buss (nato il 14 aprile 1953) è uno psicologo evoluzionista americano presso l'Università del Texas ad Austin, che ricerca le differenze di sesso umano nella selezione del compagno. È considerato uno dei fondatori della psicologia evolutiva. Buss ha conseguito il dottorato di ricerca in psicologia all'Università della California, Berkeley nel 1981. Prima di diventare professore all'Università del Texas, è stato assistente professore per quattro anni all'Università di Harvard e professore all'Università del Michigan per undici anni. I temi principali della sua ricerca includono le strategie di accoppiamento maschile, il conflitto tra i sessi, lo stato sociale, la reputazione sociale, il prestigio, l'emozione della gelosia, l'omicidio, le difese anti-omicidio e, più recentemente, lo stalking. Tutti questi sono affrontati da una prospettiva evolutiva. Buss è autore di oltre 200 articoli scientifici e ha vinto numerosi premi, tra cui un APA Distinguished Scientific Award for Early Career Contribution to Psychology nel 1988 e una APA G. Stanley Hall Lectureship nel 1990. È anche autore di Evolutionary Psychology: The New Science of the Mind, la cui quarta edizione è stata pubblicata nel 2011. Nel 2005, Buss ha curato un volume di riferimento, The Handbook of Evolutionary Psychology. Il suo ultimo libro è When Men Behave Badly: The Hidden Roots of Sexual Deception, Harassment, and Assault. Buss è coinvolto in ampie collaborazioni di ricerca interculturale e conferenze negli Stati Uniti

Descrizione di Il libro

The Dangerous Passion: Why Jealousy Is As Necessary As Love and Sex pdf da David Michael Buss

Why do men and women cheat on each other? How do men really feel when their partners have sex with other men? What worries women more -- men who turn to other women for love or men who simply want sexual variety in their lives? Can the jealousy husbands and wives experience over real or imagined infidelities be cured? Should it be? In this surprising and engaging exploration of men's and women's darker passions, David Buss, acclaimed author of "The Evolution of Desire," reveals that both men and women are actually designed for jealousy. Drawing on experiments, surveys, and interviews conducted in thirty-seven countries on six continents, as well as insights from recent discoveries in biology, anthropology, and psychology, Buss discovers that the evolutionary origins of our sexual desires still shape our passions today. According to Buss, more men than women want to have sex with multiple partners. Furthermore, women who cheat on their husbands do so when they are most likely to conceive, but have sex with their spouses when they are least likely to conceive. These findings show that evolutionary tendencies to acquire better genes through different partners still lurk beneath modern sexual behavior. To counteract these desires to stray -- and to strengthen the bonds between partners -- jealousy evolved as an early detection system of infidelity in the ancient and mysterious ritual of mating. Buss takes us on a fascinating journey through many cultures, from pre-historic to the present, to show the profound evolutionary effect jealousy has had on all of us. Only with a healthy balance of jealousy and trust can we be certain of a mate's commitment, devotion, and true love.
