这项研究探讨了科学教科书中“性激素”一词的使用程度,以及“性激素”一词的使用是否与经验性二元论之前的概念有关,特别是对这些所谓的“性激素”是性特有的、仅限于与性有关的生理功能的误解。我们发现:(1)所有的文本都使用了性激素这个术语;(2)所有的文本中,雌激素被描述为仅限于女性,睾酮被描述为仅限于男性;以及(3)在所有的文本中,睾酮和雌激素都被讨论为仅涉及与性别有关的生理作用。我们的结论是:(1)当代科学教科书保留了类固醇激素的性别二元论模型(一种性别,一种“性激素”),这些模型在20世纪初被医学科学拒绝;(2)“性激素”一词的使用与对类固醇激素在男性和女性体内的存在和功能的误解有关。
This study explores the extent to which the term “sex hormone” is used in science textbooks, and whether the use of the term “sex hormone” is associated with pre-empirical concepts of sex dualism, in particular the misconceptions that these so-called “sex hormones” are sex specific and restricted to sex-related physiological functioning. We found that: (1) all the texts employed the term “sex hormone”; (2) in all texts estrogen is characterized as restricted to females and testosterone is characterized as restricted to males; and (3) in all texts testosterone and estrogen are discussed as exclusively involved in sex-related physiological roles. We conclude that (1) contemporary science textbooks preserve sex-dualistic models of steroid hormones (one sex, one “sex hormone”) that were rejected by medical science in the early 20th century and (2) use of the term “sex hormone” is associated with misconceptions regarding the presence and functions of steroid hormones in male and female bodies.
