We diagram and discuss theories of gender identity development espoused by the clinical groups represented in this special issue. contend that origin relate importantly to practice, argue existing are under-developed. Therefore, we develop a dynamic systems framework for development. Specifically, suggest critical aspects presymbolic embodiment occur during infancy as part synchronous interplay caregiver-infant dyads. By 18 months, transition symbolic representation beginning an...
ABSTRACT A type of intraspecific hybrid sterility, between two strains Drosophila melanogaster, referred to as GD (gonadal dysgenesis) is observed when females from a strain called M are crossed with males second P. Absence egg-laying characteristic female sterility and its manifestation conditional on high developmental temperatures. Morphological cytological studies sterile described. These individuals were normal in body size external appearance. No defects sperm storage observed. Both...

In this paper I examine claims of racial difference in bone density and find that the use definitions race medicine lack a theoretical foundation. My central argument is social produces biological system constant feedback between body experience. By providing different angle vision on claimed differences hope to move conversation away from an ultimately futile discussion nature versus nurture, where time held place seen as irrelevant, begin build new paradigm for examining contributions...
From birth to 15 months infants and caregivers form a fundamentally intersubjective, dyadic unit within which the infant's ability recognize gender/sex in world develops. Between about 18 36 infant accumulates an increasingly clear subjective sense of self as female or male. We know little how precursors identity during intersubjective period, nor they transform into independent by 3 years age. In this Theory Hypothesis article I offer general framework for thinking problem. propose that...
We followed the nondistressed vocalization dynamics of 30 mother–infant dyads observed in a naturalistic setting using multiple time points between 3 and 11 months to identify subtle relationships age, sex maternal behavior ending by 1 year age with diverging trajectories vocalization. no mean differences boys girls frequency or duration vocalizations at any one period. However, while these parameters were essentially static for boys, showed quadratic developmental curve, declining 6 8...
Using the concepts of sensory and affective experience, this work relates socialization cognitive development to embodiment gender in human infant. Evidence obtained from biweekly observations 30 children their mothers observed age 3 months 12 revealed measurable sex-related differences how handle touch infants. This offers novel approaches visualizing combinations behaviors with aim encouraging researchers think terms suites action rather than singular or motor systems. New avenues research...
This piece addresses some of the challenges to social scientific thought originating from field evolutionary psychology and scientists committed making biological arguments an important component sociological discussion gender. I provide my own perspective on these contemporary discussions, noting especially different kinds explanatory value one can expect particular argument. also call for application stricter standards about evolution sex differentiated human behaviors. introduce basic...
