Preferred term

Nancy Eisenberg  

Definition

  • Nancy Eisenberg's curiosity about social behavior began in childhood as she contemplated why people behave in particular ways. Interestingly, though, she did not consider psychology when she began her college career; rather, she initially named microbiology as her intended major after a psychologist tested her for vocational aptitude and told her that she had an aptitude for science (Eisenberg, 1996).
