INTRODUCTION

The book Focus is written by Heidi Grant Halvorson and E. Tory Higgins. The authors analyze attitude of two kinds of people (the promotion-focused and the prevention-focused) toward win or loss, work, love and so on based on Regulatory Focus Theory. The authors give suggestion about how to judge and change the motivation focus of others. This book describes the differences between promotion-focused and prevention-focused, and compares the behaviors of promotion minded people and prevention minded people under different conditions in daily life. 

In this process, two chapters are chosen to be translated. Chapter five is mainly about different love values and love strategies of two kinds of people. Then, the author studies how two people are related to one another by knowing their dominant motivations as some couples work, like mixed-motivation married couples, promotion-promotion and prevention-prevention couples.

Chapter six, the author describes the different thoughts people have when they make decisions. And then the author studies the various ways two kinds of people choose to deal with problems.
