Nature or nurture? Are individuals born as an empty slate and
shaped by their environment or are we already programmed to react
in certain ways? Strelau (emeritus, psychology, Warsaw University;
professor at the Warsaw School of Social Psychology since 1998) has
spent more than fifty years studying this age-old question. He
bases some of his conclusions on the pioneering work of the Russian
physiologist Ivan Pavlov but carries them into the 21st century by
including genetic studies. Strelau intends this book to provide a
framework for others studying the field. He spends several chapters
on methodology and also gives the results of his studies, primarily
on how different people react in stressful situations.
