Study Notes
Contributions to Individual Differences in Emotionality
- Unique experiences shape individual emotionality, leading to variations among people.
Gene-Environment Interaction
- Gene-environment interactions refer to the effects of genes that manifest differently depending on environmental contexts.
Influencing Factors of Intelligence
- Intelligence is strongly influenced by genetics and is also shaped by parental stimulation, education, and peer interactions.
Shared Environmental Influences
- Common experiences, such as parenting styles, create similarities among individuals through shared environmental influences.
Gene-Environment Correlation
- The evocative gene-environment correlation occurs when a child's genotype elicits specific reactions and responses from others.
Representation of Heredity
- Heredity best represents genetic inheritance, showing how traits are passed down through generations.
Socioeconomic Status
- Socioeconomic status (SES) combines economic and social factors, providing a description of an individual's or family's social standing.
Biological and Social Constructs
- "Race" is an identifiable biological category but is primarily understood as a social construct influenced by societal perceptions.
Passive Gene-Environment Correlation
- Passive gene-environment correlation involves parents' genotypes influencing the environment they provide for their children.
External Influences
- Outside influences begin at conception and impact an individual throughout life, shaping development and experiences.
Way of Life
- A society's or group's total way of life encompasses customs, traditions, beliefs, and practices.
Context of Development
- 'Nuclear and Extended Family' exists within the context of family development, illustrating varying family structures and dynamics.
Variability in Human Characteristics
- Human diversity in traits such as gender, height, weight, body build, health, and energy level is collectively referred to as individual differences.
