✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding Gene-Environment Correlation (rGE) in Child Development
In child development studies, heredity and environment are not merely two independent factors, but they are intricately intertwined. According to behavior genetics, Evocative or Reactive Gene-Environment Correlation (Evocative rGE) explains how a person's genetically determined traits (such as temperament, intelligence, or physical appearance) elicit specific responses from surrounding people and the environment.
- Passive rGE: Occurs when biological parents provide both genes and the rearing environment.
- Evocative rGE: Occurs when a child's genetic traits elicit reactions from others.
- Active rGE: Occurs when individuals actively seek out environments that fit their genetic proclivities (niche-picking).
