Frage 11
Frage
What are some of the limitations of twin studies? Select all that apply
Antworten
-
Experiments are naturalistic so we cannot manipulate the surrounding environment
-
There are more fraternal twins than identical, which gives a less accurate picture of environmental influences
-
No random allocation
-
Some parents believe mistakenly believe their twins are monozygotic rather than dizygotic, and vice versa
-
Twin studies are considered unethical
Frage 12
Frage
What are some of the limitations of adoption studies? Select all that apply
Antworten
-
No random allocation
-
Experimenters have to seek out flaws in environment due to screening
-
Parents are screened for eligibility, therefore not a lot of variation in immediate family environments
-
Children who know they are adopted may respond differently in a shared environment
-
Experiments are naturalistic so we cannot manipulate environment
Frage 13
Frage
What did Caspi et al (2003) discover in their study regarding vulnerability to depression?
Antworten
-
That there is relatively the same risk for developing depression after 4 + stressful life events regardless of your genetic predispositions
-
That you are more likely to develop depression after 2+ stressful life events if you have 1 high risk gene, and one protective gene, than if you have 2 high risk genes
-
That possessing 2 protective genes means you are more vulnerable to depression
-
That the more high risk genes you possess, the less stressful life events it will take for you to become depressed
