BIOLOGICAL MEASURES OF HUMAN EXPERIENCE ACROSS ...

This volume explores methods used by social scientists and human biologists to understand
fundamental aspects of human experience. It is organized by stages of the human lifespan:
beginnings  adulthood  and aging. Explored are particular kinds of experiences - including pain
stress  activity levels  sleep quality  memory  and menopausal hot flashes - that have
traditionally relied upon self-reports  but are subject to inter-individual differences in
self-awareness or culture-based expectations. The volume also examines other ways in which
normally invisible phenomena can be made visible  such as the caloric content of foods  blood
pressure  fecundity  growth  nutritional status  genotypes  and bone health. All of the
chapters in this book address the means by which social scientists and human biologists measure
subjective and objective experience.
