William Herbert Sheldon, Jr.
(November 19, 1898 - September 17, 1977)

What isConstitutionalPsychology?
![Page 4: Sheldon's constitutional psych](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062419/559089331a28ab89118b467c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Studies the relationship between body build and behavior. The stable characteristics of the person, including “morphology” and biology.
Psychologists reluctant to consider an intimate tie between body and behavior fear of genetic determinism the dogma of the self-made person.

Genotype - genetic code or makeup of an individual.
Phenotype - the visible properties of an organism.

Morphology - the study of the size and shape of human beings.
Morphogenotype - (more than genotype or morphology) determines both physical build and behavior.

• Sheldon’s term for body type, it was his way of trying to “get at” the Morphogenotype, which we cannot do directly.
What isSomatotypes?

3 Kind of Somatotypes:
![Page 9: Sheldon's constitutional psych](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062419/559089331a28ab89118b467c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Endomorphy Derive from the human embryo: endoderm – which develop into internal organ.
relative predominance of body portions involved in digestion
soft and round tends to put on fat easily not suited to hard physical activity
![Page 10: Sheldon's constitutional psych](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062419/559089331a28ab89118b467c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Mesomorphy Derive from the human embryo: mesoderm – which develops into the muscles
and bones.
relative predominance of bone, muscle and connective tissue
strong and tough resistant to injury hardness and rectangularity equipped for strenuous physical
demands

Ectomorphy Derives drom the human embryo ectoderm – which develops into the nervous
system and skin
relative predominance of the skin and the nervous system
thin, delicate and light muscled
poorly equipped for hard physical activity and competition
easily over stimulated

Scales oftemperament
“ ..the dynamics of an individual should be related to the statistic picture he presented”( Sheldon, 1942 )

Viscerotonia
(associated with endomorphy)
love comport and food relaxed in posture react slowly quite even – tempered affectionate

Somatonia
(associated with mesomorphy)
love physical adventure risk taking need for vigorous activity aggressive often insensitive to feelings
of others courageous power and dominant

(associated with ectomorphy)
like to be inconspicuous self – conscious tend to conceal themselves and
the things that concern them prefer to be alone overly fast reactions prone to problem sleeping resistant to habits and routines

Affective(maniac depressive)
Cause:lacking in cerebrotonia patients were low on
ecthomorphy
![Page 19: Sheldon's constitutional psych](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062419/559089331a28ab89118b467c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Paranoid(paranoid psychosis)

were less clear
