PSYC 3075U – Biopsychology of Sex

This course examines the biological and social psychological components of human sexual development, diverse patterns of human sexual behaviour, and the factors that influence these developments and behaviours. Some attention is given to sexual socialization (both formal and informal sexuality education) and to the laws that regulate sexual behaviour. This course emphasizes psychological research and theory on these concepts and, where relevant, examines differing value perspectives. A lifespan perspective in the North American context is taken.
