Question

Professor Reed attempts to assess the relative contributions of heredity and home environment to children's susceptibility to depression. Her research best illustrates the concerns of the ________ perspective.

Answer 1

Her research best illustrates the concerns of the behavior genetics perspective.

Step-by-step explanation:

Also called psychogenetics, behavioral genetics concerns the study of how an organism's genetics composition as well as the environment can influence its behavior. This perspective was first taken by scientist Sir Francis Galton, Charles Darwin's cousin, who coined the term "nature or nurture" when questioning the determinants of abilities and disabilities. It was much later, in the 1970s, that the importance of both elements, nature and nurture, was finally realized, rather than just one over the other.
