ABSTRACT

IN this chapter we continue the discussion concerning the relationships between social factors and those traits not found in Physique and Delinquency to vary in incidence among the body types (and therefore not referable by that test to the constitutional zone of the biosocial continuum). The presumption is that, if such relationships reflect a contribution by the environmental factor to the development of the trait, the trait may be regarded as closer to the sociocultural area of the biosocial continuum than to the constitutional or innate.
