Summarize one piece of evidence that supports the genotype-environment correlation model
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: There are several examples in the textbook from which the students may draw. One example is the Narusyte, et al (2007) study which found that childhood aggression is related to parental criticism that was, in turn, related to self-reported antisocial behavior in adolescence. They suggested that this was an example of genotype-environment correlation since children at risk for antisocial behavior are more aggressive than children not at risk for this behavior and are, at the same time and as a result of their behavior, more likely to elicit negative reactions from caregivers.
