Heredity & Environment
Asked 2 months ago · Viewed 25 times
Analyzing the elemental nature of the interaction between heredity and environment in human development, among the three types of gene-environment correlation (rGE) proposed by Robert Plomin and other behavioral geneticists—passive, reactive or evocative, and active or niche-picking—which of the following most accurately demonstrates 'active gene-environment correlation'?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
To understand the relative influence of heredity and environment in child development, the concept of gene-environment correlation (rGE) is extremely important. According to Robert Plomin, active gene-environment correlation, also known as niche-picking, occurs when an individual deliberately chooses environments and activities suited to them based on their genetic abilities, temperament, and interests. In contrast, passive correlation is linked to the environment provided by parents, and reactive correlation is based on others' reactions to children.
