Abstract
This study of the influence of sex factors in the development of the personality showed that certain women are retardated in the development of attitudes, experience, and practices characteristic of the psychosexuality of most women of their age. Such women tend to have poor childhood health records and to remain attached to their parents in adult life. They have frequently strong negative attitudes toward sex or are generally apathetic in all forms of love and affection. If married, they make poor marital adjustments. Psychosexual immaturity occurres more frequently in those who were physically immature, so that one may speak of general psychobiological retardation.
