BIOLOGY AND THE SOCIAL AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES

by Gerald E. McClearn·

IT IS becoming increasingly apparent that many problems in social and behavioral science research may be illuminated in important ways by application of perspectives developed in biological sciences. There are numerous examples of social and behavioral scientists finding that the theoretical treatment of their particular areas of specialization can be expanded and strengthened by invoking explanatory principles from one or another biological discipline. Furthermore, some urgent social problems such as those arising from population pressures and environmental pollution would seem to require the integrated application of concepts from the social, behavioral, and biological sciences if solutions are to be found at all.

In response to numerous indications of interdisciplinary stirrings, the Social Science Research Council in 1966 broadened the purview of its Committee on Genetics and Behavior and renamed it the Committee on Biological Bases of Social Behavior. In general terms, the committee then undertook to explore the developing areas between the social and biological sciences, to determine the dimension of need for explicit interdisciplinary training efforts, to evaluate the effectiveness of the methods by which social scientists currently utilizing biological perspectives acquired their biological knowl• The author is Professor of Psychology and Director, Institute for Behavioral Genetics, University of Colorado.

edge, and where appropriate to promote the utilization of biological concepts and theories in social science research and training.

CONFERENCE ON BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE TRAINING FOR SOCIAL SCIENTISTS: OPENING STATEMENTS One of the first projects of the committee was the planning of a conference to bring to bear upon these objectives the accumulated experience of social and biological scientists who are engaged in interdisciplinary training and research. The conference was held at Las Croabas, Puerto Rico, February 2-6, 1969, with support granted to the Council by the Russell Sage Foundation and the National Institute of Mental Health. The participants included 27 social and biological scientists in addition to six members of the committee and staff.1 1 In addition to Messrs. Dobzhansky, Freedman, Lindzey, McCleam, Schachter, and Storer, the participants were Kurt W. Back, Duke Uni· versity; Paul T. Baker, Pennsylvania State University; Colin G.

The program began with the presentation of statements on the relationship between various biological discip1ines and social or behavioral disciplines.

Bruce Eckland surveyed the current relations. of sociology and the biological sciences. Although medical sociology is closely related to biology, the total range of concern has not included such problems as the effects of differential fertility and of assortative mating on social structure. Impending biotechnological developments, such as the possibility of predetermination of sex of child and large-scale programs of organ transplants, will pose many problems for sociological research. At present, demand for biological science training by graduate students in sociology does not seem to be very great, but there should be no difficulty in introducing relevant courses in the curriculum of sociology departments if and when the demand grows.

Stanley Schachter gave a case history of the difficulties encountered by social psychologists whose search for explanatory concepts leads into the biological realm.

Limitation of knowledge often prevents expeditious following up of one experiment by another. The necessity of frequent consultation makes the research effort inefficient and inordinately time consuming, and generates considerable frustration. Reading of relevant primary biological literature by persons not formally trained is also inefficient, and evaluation of research reports is even more difficult. Some literature is essentially inaccessible because of lack of familiarity with basic concepts. Attempts to obtain training in the relevant biological science while continuing to function as a social scientist have often failed because of the extensive prerequisites of an orthodox training program.

In a discussion of psychology and the biological sciences, John Lacey pointed out that psychology, through physiological psychology, has a long history of association with the biological sciences. He cautioned particularly against the dangers inherent in attempts to find simplistic physiological indices of complex behavioral traits. Social scientists armed with only fragmentary knowledge may not appreciate the limits of physiological measures and may seriously overinterpret them.

He also urged that no one level of analysis be regarded as more basic in explanatory power than another. Flexible programs and approaches were strongly recommended, to permit social scientists in search of the relevance of biological factors to their research problems to obtain the information needed.

Morris Lipton took up the relationship between psychiatry and biological sciences. In general, psychiatry may be regarded as an applied "interface" area. The development of psychotropic drugs has been particularly important in bringing psychiatry closer to biology.

34

These drugs have changed therapeutic practice extensively, and are modifying theories as well. The "black . box" is now obviously penetrable. Lipton also pointed out the importance of relevance of the level of explanation to the phenomena under investigation. Behavioral laws are pertinent to behavioral phenomena, and although they must not violate chemical and biological laws, it is not necessarily true that the behavioral laws can be derived from the latter.

James Spuhler pointed out that in anthropology, as in psychology, parts of the discipline have been biological science and parts social science. A salient feature of modern physical anthropology has been the improved understanding of human evolutionary history, particularly with regard to the evolutionary sequence of brain size and tool use. A good example of the need of the physical anthropologist to be able to apply a broad range of information to a problem is found in the work of Livingston on the distribution of hemoglobin types in West African populations. Beginning with considerations of the genetics and the biochemistry of hemoglobin, he found it necessary to include considerations of the distribution of plants and insects, the introduction of iron tools, and linguistic differences among the groups examined in order to achieve a comprehensive analysis. There are three general problems of anthropology in which biological considerations are central: macroevolution of man along the primate lineage, microevolution and the classification of men, and comparative growth and development of man.

An illustration of an interdisciplinary theoretical system was provided by Eugene Roberts, who presented a conceptual model that incorporates features of neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neurochemistry, and psychology in explanation of the processes of learning, habituation, and adaptive failure. Empirical data pertinent to aspects of the model were discussed.

The next group of statements was concerned with exposition and analysis of some specific training procedures and programs.

Problems of basic curricula for training in biological sciences were discussed by William Mayer. Most basic curricula do not constitute a general balanced introduction to biology either as a self-contained terminal exposure to the subject or as a basis for further study.

In part this is attributable to lack of integration among the various fields of biology. An introductory course should be of the highest caliber with laboratory work arranged so that the students experience a sense of discovery, not simply verification. A major difficulty in biosocial science interdisciplinary training is identifying people equipped to do the teaching. Teaching by teams without careful integration of the contributions VOLUME

of individual instructors is not a very satisfactory procedure. An interim, makeshift arrangement might be to identify within a curriculum clusters of courses that touch upon matters relevant to the interdiscipline.

Ultimately, it will be necessary to develop new curricula especially designed to meet interdisciplinary needs. A useful first step in the process of evolving new disciplines would be the reduction of departmental requirements and a lowering of barriers to the movement of students across departmental boundaries.

Pharmacology was described by Lloyd Roth as a truly interdisciplinary field in which knowledge of biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics is required. Still other fields are added in the case of psychopharmacology.

Several illustrations of the necessity of interdisciplinary perspective for the conduct of meaningful research were presented, and it was shown that use of a single approach in studying biological phenomena gives very limited results. There is need to develop a new type of research worker who can use information and experience from diverse disciplines. That such truly interdisciplinary training can be provided in doctoral programs is documented by the training program in psychopharmacology at the University of Chicago. The history of the establishment of that program was reported. Fur路 ther efforts have shown that pharmacology can be taught successfully at the undergraduate and even at the high school level. One major source of difficulty in interdisciplinary training at the graduate level has been that the traditional sequence in medical schools is not necessarily appropriate for graduate instruction.

Richard Thompson described the explicitly interdisciplinary training program in psychobiology at the University of California, Irvine. The first year of this program provides instruction in basic neuroanatomy, cellular biology, neurophysiology, neurochemistry and sensory mechanisms, through a highly integrated lecture series involving all the faculty, and a closely related intensive laboratory sequence in which students become familiar with the relevant techniques. The second year of the program is devoted to behavioral processes.

The program has demonstrated the feasibility of intensive training to a high level of competence in several disciplines for students previously prepared in only one of them. In the program a very favorable studentteacher ratio is featured, with all staff members actively engaged in interdisciplinary research.

Gerald McClearn reviewed the experience of the Social Science Research Council with summer research training institutes in other contexts, and described the 1964 summer institute on behavioral genetics cosponsored by the Commi ttee on Genetics and Behavior and the University of California, Berkeley. The training proSEPTEMBER

gram brought together advanced predoctoral students and those with recent doctorates in biological and behavioral sciences in approximately equal numbers. The interaction with peers having common interests but diverse academic backgrounds was found to be very valuable.

DISCUSSION Following each statement there was extensive discussion. It quickly became apparent that the interdisciplinary training problem is a refractory one. Every issue addressed seems to require the prior resolution of the other issues. Certain recurrent themes were identifiable, however. One was the importance of differential treatment of different audiences. The issue was stated in various ways. Training efforts, it was suggested, should be concentrated on "those who care"-those who have already decided that such training is appropriate to their needs-rather than on attracting others to this view. On the other hand, it was argued that some general training to develop an appreciation of the nature of biological information should be given to all social and behavioral science graduate students. A contrast was made between "retread" training of already established scholars and ab origine training of graduate students.

In general, it was agreed that different approaches are required for a variety of needs.

Another focal topic was the matter of content. Concern was expressed by some over the need to ensure that the amount of biological information transmitted in an interdisciplinary program be adequate for its purpose.

It was generally agreed that half-knowledge could be dangerous, both for individual projects and for the state of health of the interdisciplinary field.

In planning interdisciplinary training it appears that it is as critical to decide which material is to be excluded from the special curriculum as it is to decide which is to be included. For example, one might be concerned with the type and amount of material that might be excluded from the standard chemistry curriculum in modifying such a curriculum for the special purpose of providing a background in biochemistry for behavioral scientists.

A third recurring theme concerned mechanisms of training. It became apparent early in the discussions that different training modes would be required to meet the various needs of different groups and for transmission of different types of biological information. It was also noted that changes in curricula over time could be expected. In the early stages of development of an inter. disciplinary field the training program might consist largely of an assemblage of existing courses; as the defi-

35

nition of the interdiscipline proceeds, specialized courses and whole curricula will be developed. It is likely, therefore, that particular training devices will be required at one time and then will become outmoded.

Several pertinent general comments may also be noted.

There appeared to be general acceptance by those present of the proposition that no one explanatory level is more basic than another. This attitude of academic egalitarianism is an encouraging one because it seems unlikely that healthy interdisciplines can emerge if the partnership is not on conceptually equal terms.

Another point is that there is nothing contradictory between the aims of encouraging the utilization of biological concepts and methods in social and behavioral research and the pursuit of social and behavioral knowledge at their own levels of description and analysis.

That is to say, there is no implication in our concern over interdisciplinary training that all social and behavioral research should involve close and immediate biological considerations.

TASK GROUPS In view of the complexity of the problems discussed and the difficulty of grasping them in their entirety, five task groups were organized at the conference to concentrate on particular aspects of the total problem. Four of the task groups were to focus on particular segments of the audience that might be involved, and to give attention to content and mechanism for each particular group of potentially interested scholars. The task group on General Biological Education was concerned with the provision of "appreciation" training for the general social and behavioral scientist. The type of training envisaged would acquaint students with the kinds of biological knowledge that exist, but not with details of specific bodies of knowledge. The Special Interest Training task group was concerned with training for a narrow specific purpose. This type of training would generally be for the mature investigator who for one or another reason needs to utilize a specific biological technique or procedure in exploring his own subject matter. With this kind of training he should not only be able to make appropriate use of the particular method, but should also have sufficient information to understand its limitations.

The Basic Ancillary Training task group was oriented toward the scholar who will retain a strong primary interest in the field of his basic training, but who wishes to acquire enough knowledge of a biological discipline to be capable of effective collaboration or of independent research in the interdisciplinary area.

36

The Interdisciplinary Ph.D. Training task group was concerned with the training of individuals who would have genuine competence in the two parent disciplines of an interdisciplinary area.

A fifth task group was established to consider points of convergence from an over-all perspective. Its assignment was to identify areas in which information flow between biological and social scientists would be useful in illuminating important theoretical or practical issues.

After one and one-half days of deliberation, the task groups reported their analyses and recommendations to the conference. There was general agreement among the groups that training efforts at the particular levels they had considered are needed and are feasible, although special mechanisms and new training sequences may be required in many cases.

A number of problems of interdisciplinary training were described; many of these had been identified earlier in the conference but were highlighted in task group discussions. One problem is the professional identification of the interdisciplinary scholar. Closely related to this issue is that of academic location of the interdiscipline. As an interdisciplinary area develops within an established academic department, increasingly unconventional and unpopular demands are likely to be made on the department with respect to recruiting policies, space allocation, equipment acquisition, and course sequences for students.

A similar problem may arise in respect to funding of interdisciplinary research or training. Proposals for support of such programs may sometimes be at a disadvantage because they do not fall clearly within the bailiwicks of established programs of sources of funds.

No clear means of resolving these problems is apparent. To a considerable extent they arise from the rigidity of departmental boundaries, and would be substantially ameliorated by more flexible attitudes toward academic sovereignty.

The task groups identified many "points of convergence," ranging from whole interdisciplinary areas s}lch as developmental psychobiology to particular research foci such as the urban crisis. It seems clear that a highly diversified group of interdisciplinary areas is developing between various biological disciplines and various social and behavioral disciplines.

Numerous ways of encouraging and supporting these developments were suggested. Many proposals naturally dealt with devices already tried and proven in other contexts. For implementation of such proposals initiative would seem to be with the scientists concerned, although, to be sure, receptive sources of support and cooperative university administrations will be required. Among the possibilities that fall in this category are the preparation VOLUME

of curricular material; the organization of "traveling lectureships," problem-oriented conferences, and summer institutes; and the establishment of centers for advanced study.

For the institution of other programs, such as special fellowships, graduate training and research grants, the initiative would appear to rest with sources of support, although the maintenance and success of such programs would be dependent on the supply of investigators eager and able to make effective use of them.

Those participants in the conference who were involved in the growth of established interdisciplines, such as biochemistry and psychopharmacology, documented in detail the important role that similar funding programs played in those cases.

SUBSEQUENT COMMITTEE ACTION The Committee on Biological Bases of Social Behavior met in March to review the proceedings of the conference and to decide upon appropriate action. It was agreed that summer training institutes now constitute the most effective device for advancing development of the interdisciplinary areas with which the committee is concerned. Final preparations were made for a Summer Training Institute on Genetics and Behavior for Developmental Psychologists, the initial planning of which had begun prior to the conference. This institute was conducted at the University of Colorado, Boulder, from June 15 to July 26, 1969. Prospects for holding four additional summer institutes are being explored.

tions precludes any but highly episodic access to these basic materials. Many other items of major importance are available, however, at the Bureau of Archives of the MacArthur Memorial at Norfolk, Virginia, the Library of Congress, the Army Library in the Pentagon, the Office of the Chief of Military History, and a variety of university libraries throughout the country. All of these have their counterparts in Japan.

Of almost equal importance, but less durable, are the sizable numbers of still-living Americans and Japanese who served in important positions in the Occupation or the Japanese Government during the 1945-52 period.

Many of these have personal files or diaries and all have memories relating to those rather remarkable years.

In the Joint Bibliographical Project two things are

being attempted. First, an extensive annotated bibliography of the available records of the Occupation, both official and private, in the United States and Japan is being prepared. It is hoped that this will be published in two volumes, sometime in 1970-71. Second, a directory of potential American and Japanese interviewees who might reasonably be expected to have information of value about the Occupation is being compiled.

The Japanese participants in the Project are organized into some ten groups by subject matter. They include in their number some of Japan's most eminent scholars.

Their activities are being coordinated by Nobushige Ukai, former President of the International Christian University in Tokyo. The work of the American group is being directed by Robert E. Ward.

RESEARCH ON URBAN POVERTY: A CONFERENCE HELD AT PRINCETON UNIVERSITY, MAY 22-23,1969

by Albert Rees * THIS conference was planned in the belief that social science research on the problems of urban poverty was proceeding in a number of places and in several disciplines without adequate communication among the investigators. The conference was sponsored jointly by the Council and by the Industrial Relations Section and Woodrow Wilson School, Princeton University.

The forty-five participants 1 represented twelve universities and seven other organizations and agencies.

• The author is Professor of Economics and Public Affairs, and Director of the Industrial Relations Section, Princeton University, and a member of the board of directors of the Council.

Economists were in the majority, but political science, sociology, anthropology, and law were also represented.

Discussion was focused around papers prepared on four subjects of research: on black entrepreneurship, by Robert B. McKersie, University of Chicago; on the political structure of the ghetto, by W. Duane Lockard, Princeton University; on the consumption patterns of the poor, by Marcus Alexis, University of Rochester; and on income maintenance, by Michael K. Taussig, Rutgers University.

The conference identified a large number of possible areas for research, many closely linked with policy issues. However, no consensus emerged on priorities for research strategy, and the discussion suggested to some participants that pluralistic approaches to problems in this area are indicated for some time to come.
