Chapter 5 | Genes, Culture, and Gender | Psychology Courses | Cebu

Описание: In this lecture, we’ll explore how biology and culture work together to shape human behavior. 🌍🧬
We’ll examine the balance between our shared human nature, rooted in evolutionary inheritance, and our rich cultural diversity, expressed through customs, norms, and social practices across societies.

Discover how evolutionary psychology and cultural learning explain both gender similarities and differences—from social connectedness and dominance to aggression and sexuality—and why these patterns appear consistently across cultures.

We’ll also discuss:
✔️ The interaction between genes and environment
✔️ How cultural norms amplify or suppress biological tendencies
✔️ Critiques of evolutionary explanations (like hindsight bias and stereotyping)
✔️ Insights from epigenetics—how experience can influence gene expression

Ultimately, this chapter shows that human behavior is not defined by nature or nurture alone, but by their continuous interplay. We are both products and creators of our social world, shaped by biology, culture, and conscious choice.

🎓 Perfect for: Psychology students and educators studying social behavior, gender differences, and the biology-culture interaction.
