The Use and Abuse of Environment in Behavior-Genetic Research.
Wachs, Theodore D.
Child Development, v54 n2 p396-407 Apr 1983
Contrasts measurements and conceptualizations of the environment employed by environmentally oriented behavioral scientists with those developed by behavior geneticists. For the environmentalist, the environment is multidimensional, dynamic, and transactional, as well as mediated by the individual. By contrast, the behavior geneticist's conceptualization of the environment is static and global. (Author/RH)
