Abstract
Human behavior is a product of the biological endowment with which we are born and its interaction with the environment. Initially, the mother-child unit must be considered within this system. Some babies are adaptable, have high thresholds to discomfort and tolerate excessive or painful stimuli with equanimity. Other babies do not do as well. Some mothers adapt to even very difficult children and others seem not to be "motherly" at all.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
