Q

Holland RM strengths and limitations

A

When looking at genes and behavior, its impotant to look at unique cases of genetics to find out what factors affect behavior. When looking at special cases, natural experiments are good, as we cannot alter the genetics, of people, but it would still allow us to better understand how genes can affect our behaivor

Natural experiment
Holland
GOOD:
Eco validity
Important when looking at genes and behavior as 

BAD:
Cant control extraneous variables
Dont know for sure if its just the genes that affect behavior
Especialy important as genes arent easily observable like factors such as the environment/ culture. Dont know for SURE if its whats causing it

If youre talking about it as a correlational study, not natural
Correlation isnt causation
Dont know its genes affecting behavior
