Abstract

Geschwind & Galaburda (1985a,b,c, Archs Neurol., Chicago 42, 428, 521, 634) and Dörner et al. (1983a,b, Expl. Clin. Endocrinol. 81, 88, 83) have hypothesised, respectively, that the testosterone levels to which foetuses are exposed in utero affect postnatal laterality and sexual orientation. A means of testing the two hypotheses jointly is proposed here.

摘要

格施温德与加拉布尔达（1985年a、b、c卷，《神经病学文献》，芝加哥42卷，428页、521页、634页）以及多纳等人（1983年a、b卷，《实验与临床内分泌学》81卷，88页、83页）分别提出假设，即胎儿在子宫内所接触到的睾酮水平会影响出生后的偏侧性和性取向。本文提出了一种联合检验这两个假设的方法。
