TY - JOUR PY - 1981// TI - Why boys will be boys: A structural perspective JO - American journal of orthopsychiatry A1 - Ullian, D. Z. SP - 493 EP - 501 VL - 51 IS - 3 N2 - Moving beyond the traditional "nature-nurture" debate about the origin of sex differences, the structural-developmental model described in this paper links many of the sex differences reported in the literature to early cognitive structures that shape and distort concepts in inevitable ways. The heightened levels of aggression and power-seeking reported among boys are seen as the child's effort to give psychological expression to his perceived gender attributes.
