SELF-HELP

In the nature versus nurture debate, relationship psychologist Driscoll supports the role of nature in many gender differences. He and fellow psychologist Davis draw upon research from anthropology, biology, and sociology to explain why, for example, women are less satisfied in marriage and why young men want casual sex.
