Unit 6 – Developmental Psychology
6.7 Gender and Sexual Orientation
mixed difficulty
Why might some critics argue against psychodynamic theories' explanation of sexual orientation?
They emphasize too much on societal conditioning while explaining an individual's sexual preference/choice/attraction/direction/orientation..
They entirely reject any potential biological influences on sexual orientation development.
They give too much weightage to conscious choice rather than subconscious drives when it comes to sexuality determination process.
They heavily rely on unresolved parental conflicts and may stigmatize non-heterosexual orientations as pathological or abnormal developments.
