Грамотный перевод этого текста nature versus nurture the most basic and frequently encountered issue in child psychology is whether behavior and development primarily result from inborn, biological, nature factors, or environmental, experiential, nurture factors. all child researchers today subscribe some from of integrationist position, in which both nature and nurture are assumed to contribute to human development. but two types of debate on this issue continue. first, some theorists, despite their overall interactionist philosophy, may contend that a specific aspect of behavior has a biological basis, whereas others believe thet it is the result of environmental causes. the second source of debate is that even if are behavior is assumed to result from a combination of nature and nurture, many questions remain regarding the role that each plays in the process and the kinds of mechanisms that are involved. the issue is well illustrated by the current controversy in the area of sex-role development. once a sex difference in behavior has been established, explanations for the difference can take at list three different forms. the difference can be attributed to nature, as in the contention that the brains of males and females are structured differently. it can be attributed to environmental factors, as in the argument that boys receive more encouragement from parents and teachers to engage in activities that promote spatial skills. or it can involve an interactionist explanation, such as the possibility that boys innately prefer activities involving spatial relations and, as a result, spend more time improving these skills.
