Document Summary
Can"t manipulate height , it is plausible to say height effect social statuus but We"ve had separate share of environment and genetics, families share the same environment. Compare adopted children to biological parents & adoptive parents. The genes are pulled apart and separated from the environment; this is done with respect to intelligence. Results: bio logical relation show more significant and strong correlation than individual long term env. This introduced a wrinkle in such a clean picture. Children measured for higher hostility and anti-socialness show more correlation to biological parent w/ pyschatric disorder; genetic contribution. Child not living with biological parent would be evidence for genetics. They found significant correlation between biological parent & adoptive parent. Psy210h1s (not complete ) genes proto-trait = environment ( adoptive parent) The idea here is that genes, genes make/create cranky behaviour, which affects the parent (environment) causing them to reinforce the biological component.
