Excerpt from Studies in the Dynamics of Behavior
For an understanding of the social behavior of the individual a knowledge of the sources and nature of the motives which determine conduct is of fundamental importance. Our educational facilities have been mobilized chiefly to provide for the intellectual training of those who have the interest and will to learn, and techniques for the development and control of social attitudes lag far behind those for technical or intellectual training. The gifted youth who says, "I would rather be known as one who could, if he would, than succeed in anything," is a far more difficult problem and a more questionable social asset than the less-gifted plodder. It is far easier to teach the habitual delinquent the fundamentals of arithmetic than conformity to the accepted social code. As yet, there are scarcely any recognized methods for developing the social attitudes which contribute to make the individual a useful member of society. We muddle along with precept and example, pretty successfully as a rule, but are often hopelessly at a loss to deal with the exceptional child for whom the traditional procedures have been ineffective.
We do not know the real differences between the ambitious and the slothful, the dreamer and the go-getter, the honest and dishonest, the selfish and generous, the leader and follower, in spite of many dogmatic statements in the psychological literature. One group, differing in other respects as widely as the behaviorists and the psychoanalysts, would have us believe that temperamental differences are wholly the result of childhood training and that uniform education beginning at birth would result in a uniform product. Other equally influential groups have minimized the environmental factors and have ascribed unlike temperaments to different hereditary endowments. The more conservative have asserted the existence of constitutional differences but assumed their ready modification under social pressures; the more radical have regarded the constitutional differences as inalterable and expressed a pessimistic attitude toward all efforts at social control.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of animal behavior, specifically focusing on the intricate relationship between genetics, environment, and temperament. The author, a pioneer in the field, examines the differences in wildness and savageness in rats, drawing comparisons between wild-caught rats and those bred in controlled laboratory settings. The book's core thesis is rooted in the burgeoning field of animal psychology in the early 20th century, where researchers sought to understand the role of heredity and nurture in shaping animal behavior. Through meticulously designed experiments and detailed observations, the author challenges prevailing assumptions about the nature of temperament, demonstrating the significance of genetic predisposition in determining an animal's behavioral tendencies. Ultimately, this work offers a groundbreaking examination of how inherent traits, influenced by both genetics and environment, impact the complex interplay between an individual's nature and its social adaptation.
