gene-environment interdependence Flashcards
rarely separable
behavior and molecular genetics methods to study how they work together
gene-environment interplay
What were the findings of capsi and colleagues
genotypes for serotonin interact with maltreatment and stress to affect the risk for depression, cannot predict depression based on either factor alone
parents pass on genes and parents produce environment
passive correlations
people with specific genotype seek out environments which maximize expression of that genotype
active correlations
genetically influenced behaviors evoke a response which amplifies the expression of the behavior
evocative correlations
reciprocal processes over time
transactions
the cumulative consequences of transactional processes - snowball effect
developmental cascade
gene expression modulated by environmental experience
epigenesis
what were the findings of weaver and colleagues?
early life experience appear to affect gene expression and related for mental illness
