Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bem's theory proposes that sexual orientation is the result of both biological factors and experiences with the environment. He suggests that an individual's temperament, hormone levels, and other biological factors interact with their life experiences to shape their sexual orientation. Bem's theory is therefore an example of a biopsychosocial approach to understanding sexual orientation.
