PSY230H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Casual Sex, Human Sexuality, Serotonin Transporter
Document Summary
Which statement about modern evolutionary theory of human sexuality is. I presented data on the stability of various personality characteristics (e. g. , attractiveness, intelligence, big five), after taking measurement error into account. Based on these correlations, what is the probability that an individual who is above average in intelligence is still above average in intelligence five years later: 51-60, 61-70, 71-80, 71-80, 81-90, 91-100% A twin studies of life-satisfaction (ls) found a correlation of r = . 4 for mz twins and a correlation of r = . 1 for dz twins. Genetic and environmental effects on personality: the evidence. Heritability of the big five: there have been dozens of twin studies of personality traits (mainly e and n, but also. O, a, and c): the typical textbook estimate of heritability for the big five is 40% to 50%, estimates are attenuated by measurement error. One multi-method study found heritability estimates around 70%: the estimates for shared environment are typically close to 0%!!
