Gutes Ex.; Umschlag berieben; innen wenige Bleistift-Anstreichungen. - Englisch. - How do biological, psychological, and social forces interact to shape sex-role behavior? - The question of the existence and origin of sex differences has been debated by philosophers and scientists for centuries. Much of the debate has centered on the relative importance of biological versus experiential influences, with vociferous proponents for both. The contributors to The Psychobiology of Sex Differences and Sex Roles do not take a simple either-or position. Instead, they see human development as the result of the dynamic interaction between an individual's biological makeup and experiences with the environment. This book provides a major integration of biological, psychological, and sociological findings. As such it will be immensely helpful to both professionals and students. (Verlagstext) // INHALT : ...
