Description

Book Synopsis
Deals with the complexities of human behavioral research, a domain still dominated by the age-old debate of nature versus nurture. The author dissects five approaches to the study of behavior - quantitative behavioral genetics, molecular behavior genetics, developmental psychology, neurophysiology and anatomy, and social/environmental methods.

Trade Review
"Helen E. Longino presents many insights about different general methods, assumptions, research goals, and the importance of definitions in researching behavior. I know of no other book that covers such diverse approaches." (Peter Machamer, University of Pittsburgh)"
