معرفی
Martie G. Haselton is a Professor at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), holding joint appointments in the Departments of Psychology and Communication Studies, as well as the Institute for Society and Genetics (ISG). Her research focuses on evolutionary psychology, social psychology, and interpersonal communication, with a particular emphasis on the intersection of human behavior, reproductive biology, and social dynamics. She has authored influential work on topics such as olfactory communication, psychological sex differences, and the role of reproductive hormones in decision-making.
Haselton holds a Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Texas, Austin (2000), an M.A. from the College of William & Mary (1997), and a B.A. from the University of San Diego (1992). Her research explores evolutionary perspectives on health behaviors, intimate relationships, and the biological underpinnings of social interactions. Key themes in her work include how evolutionary pressures shape human mating strategies and how hormonal fluctuations influence perception and behavior.
Her publications consistently bridge evolutionary theory with contemporary social issues, such as the intersection of ideology and self-interest in debates over same-sex marriage. She has advised multiple students, including D. Pinsof, K. A. Gildersleeve, and D. Murray, whose collaborative work has been published in journals like Psychological Science and Evolution and Human Behavior. Haselton’s research also extends to practical applications, such as understanding eating interventions through an evolutionary lens.
Her book Hormonal: The Hidden Intelligence of Hormones (2018) synthesizes her findings on how hormones guide adaptive behaviors and shape human relationships. While not explicitly mentioned, her work at ISG likely involves interdisciplinary collaborations addressing societal implications of genetic and hormonal research.
