✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Explanation of Sandra Scarr's Genotype-Environment Correlation
Psychologist Sandra Scarr described three types of genotype-environment correlations to explain the interrelationship between heredity and child development:
- Active Genotype-Environment Correlation (Niche-picking): When children seek out or create environments that fit their genetic abilities, interests, and traits (such as choosing sports, music, or specific academic environments).
- Passive Genotype-Environment Correlation: Occurs when biological parents provide both the genes and the environment for the child.
- Evocative/Reactive Genotype-Environment Correlation: Occurs when a child's genetic traits elicit specific reactions from other people in their social environment.
Therefore, children selecting environments suited to their genetic predispositions is known as active genotype-environment correlation or niche-picking.
