But what exactly do we mean by \"masculinity\" and \"femininity\"? Even if researchers can agree onthe meaning of these terms, how do they determine whether the behavior they observe arises from intrinsic differences between males and females or from the context in which it occurs? What is the balance between biologically and environmentally influenced sex differences? In this volume a group of internationally renowned authorities on sexual differentiation consider these and other key questions from seven distinct but interrelated perspectives: psychobiologic, neuroscientific, evolutionary, behavior genetic, developmental, psychosocial, and cultural. Specifictopics range from sex differences in the rodent brain to the psychological constructions of masculinity and femininity. The contributors' findings indicate that the characteristics of each gender are determined by a much more intricate interaction between biology and the environment than has beenaccepted in the past, and they relate these findings within a framework of critical issues in methodology and definition. Psychologists, neuroscientists, psychiatrists, and social scientists will welcome this fresh and authoritative contribution to the study of sexual differentiation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51916489621792,"sku":"NEW0195041054","price":75.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/masculinityfemininity-basic-perspectives-kinsey-institute-series-0195041054","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
