Researchers have found that siblings’ scores on standard measures of personality traits are virtually uncorrelated. Discuss how parental treatment of their children can serve as a nonshared environmental influence.
Akash M.
In a longitudinal study, some 4-year-olds were identified as being at the extreme of traits known to have strong genetic roots: aggressiveness or extreme shyness. Describe at least three traits shown in both types of children when they become emerging adults. Think back on one of your personality traits in 8th grade, discuss this trait. Do you express this trait at your age now? If yes, explain. If no, explain. Who and what are the influences on this trait?
Use the following scenario to match the focus of each theory with the corresponding theory. Each theory is only used once. 9-year-old Sydney is in 4th grade. Her mother is a space engineer, and her father stays at home to help care for her and her younger brother. Sydney helps take care of her younger brother, and she excels in math. She watches her mom perform calculations and she wants to be just like her when she gets older. Sydney is upset that she is sometimes teased at school for liking math. She feels confident in her learning abilities but less confident in her ability to make friends, especially with boys. Group of answer choices ( Psychoanalytic, Systems, Cognitive, Behavioral, Evolutionary) Focuses on how the culture and time period may influence the roles of Sydney's parents. Focuses on how taking care of a younger sibling at Sydney's age might have been adaptive for our ancestors. Focuses on how Sydney learned from watching her mother to love math. Focuses on Sydney's inner drives and motives, especially her feelings of inferiority in making friends. Focuses on how Sydney's thinking, memory, and processing speed have advanced in school, enabling her to excel in math.
