	Nature versus nurture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nature versus nurture is a shorthand expression for debates about the relative importance of an individual's innate qualities ("nature") versus personal experiences ("nurture") in determining or causing physical and behavioral traits.
		Thus nature versus nurture debates can be seen as attempts to fit new scientific ideas and developments into the classical formalist and self-based mold, since these debates arose from problems associated with reconciling the formalist notions of classical theories with emerging theories and new data.
		Although "nurture" may have historically referred mainly to the care given to children by their parents, any environmental (not genetic) factor also would count as "nurture" in a contemporary nature versus nurture debate, including one's childhood friends, one's early experiences with television, and one's experience in the womb.

	Nurture Capital -- A New Paradigm For Business
		Nurture Capital is a term to describe the paradigm shift that is transforming many businesses from a pattern of domination to the modus operandi of cooperation.
		Therefore, we have introduced the term, "nurture capital," to describe resources applied to an enterprise once it meets the first test of survival: a concept has been created, and its early development has been funded by the founders, their families and their friends.
		Nurture Capital, then, is that phase in the life of a venture, after the founders have invested all that they are able into the venture, but when it is still premature to talk to Venture Capitalists or banks.

	Nurture Assumption
		Harris oversimplifies the parent child relationship and the meaning of nurturance; second, I think that she relies too heavily upon questionable anthropological data; third, I think she underestimates some of the basic assumptions of the developmental research.
		In the same way, nurturing your child may not be strongly correlated with adult adjustment, since many factors affect this final outcome, not the least of which is all the decisions your grown children will make when they leave home.
		However, if nurturance is assumed to include more behaviors, coming from more than just one's parents, that serve more as a preventative agent for adult problems than a guarantee of adult happiness and adjustment, then the assumption most of us make remains.

	Evaluating the National Outcomes: Parent/Family--Parents; Nurture
		Research suggests parental nurturing of children may be the most significant contribution parents can make for their childrenís positive growth and development.
		Parents who are nurturing are warm, affectionate, good at listening, respectful, and attend to the basic care and well-being of their children (Smith, et al., 1994).
		Nurturance has so consistently been found to be important in the raising of children that some researchers refer to it as the "super-variable" in parenting.

	Nature vs Nurture in Intelligence
		As a student, it is your responsibility to develop a familiarity with the basic arguments, strengths, and weaknesses for and against the causal influences and correlates of intelligence.
		In the overfocus on nature vs. nurture issues, the attempts to estimate the relative contribution rests on the somewhat naive notion that there is a constant, true value.
		Thus, a future area for research which blends those in the nature camps with those in the nurture camps would be examine which environmental components allow people to optimally realise their genetic potentials for a variety of areas of cognitive performance (e.g.

	THE GREAT NATURE-NURTURE DEBATE
		The most common "nurture" theories of homosexual causation focus on deep disturbances in the parent-child relationship during the first few years of life.
		The upshot is that in the case of both male and female homosexuals, the problem of nurture may involve a difficulty in reconciliation with maleness.
		Certainly this is the dominant explanation for developmental theorists in the case of homosexual men, whose desire as an adult is not to be a woman but to identify with a man. Sexual desire is an understandable outgrowth of this intense need, but sexual satisfaction does not meet the underlying need.

	Science NetLinks: Nature and Nurture
		In this lesson, students begin to develop an understanding of the role played by nature (our genes) and nurture (the environment in which we live and the things that happen to us) in defining who we are and what it means to be human.
		Since the mapping of the human genome has been highlighted in the news, students may wrongfully get the impression that genetic science is leading us to a more deterministic view of inheritance in which the role of DNA takes precedence over other factors in determining who we are.
		Now that students know more about the roles of nature and nurture, they should be able to more clearly explain traits (of themselves and their family members) in those terms.

	Online NewsHour: Nature vs. Nurture-- October 20 1998
		The nature vs. nurture debate has been reopened by a new book that says that peers and genes are more influential than parents in child development.
		JUDITH HARRIS, Author, "The Nurture Assumption:" It's the assumption that what makes children turn out the way they do, aside from their genes, the environmental part of child development, is the experiences they have at home, and in particular the experiences they have with their parents.
		SUSAN DENTZER: Behavioral geneticists have concluded that about half of the variation that crops up among people is due to heredity, in other words, to their genes, but that leaves about one half of these variations unexplained.

	Nurture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nurture is usually defined as the process of caring for and teaching a child as the child grows.
		Often, it is used in debates as the opposite of "nature" (see nature versus nurture), whereby nurture means the process of replicating learned cultural information from one mind to another, and nature means the replication of genetic non-learned behavior.

	Amazon.com: The Nurture Assumption: Why Children Turn Out the Way They Do: Books: Judith Rich Harris,Steven Pinker (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		She is upset about the blame laid on parents of troubled children and has much to say (mostly negative) about "professional parental advice-givers." Her own advice may be summarized as "guide your child's peer-group choices wisely," but the aim of the book is less to offer guidance than to tear off cultural blinders.
		While the author's skepticism of the view that parents' behavior produces necessary and direct effects on children is itself well founded, her counterpoint to the "nurture assumption" is not.
		The author carefully critiques research from a variety of social sciences and challenges the implicit claim of modern society that parents shape their children like clay and are therefore responsible for their children's personalities, character, and mental health.
