psyx test #2

How much of the variance between individuals is due to genetic differences?

Breeding Studies, Family & Pedigree Studies, Adoption Design Studies, Twin Designs/Studies, Studies of Twins Reared Apart

2(rmzt-rdzt)=Estimate of Heritability

Wrote the book, Born Together Reared Apart

Conclusions about the behavior genetics of personality

Twins reared apart

Studied shyness and reactivity in babies

Mom is avaliable for baby to come check in with

The Nurture Assumption

Parents don't have LONG TERM effects on child's personality

genes-->amino acids-->protiens-->bio structures-->behavior

Phlem(phlematic), Blood(sanguine), Black(melancholic), Yellow(Claric/Quick tempered)

"study of the mind"/lumps on head/pseudoscience

Somatypes

endomorph=short&stout mesomorph="mid" height&lean ectomorph=tall&skinny

Level I: Broad Traits
Level II: Personal Concerns
Level III: Life Story

Professionals can't make "diagnosis" about public figures mental health without meeting them and without their permisson

Sum of all learned behaviors

Consequences (reinforcement&punishment)/Voluntary Behaviors/Skinner (pigeons&rats), Thorndike (cats)

Stimulus & Response/Pavlov (dogs)/Watson & Rayner (little albert)/Involuntary Behaviors

Modeling/Vicarious/Bandura (bobo dolls)

Said traits don't exist INSTEAD if-then relationships

average across situations

Skills & Abilities
Personal Beliefs
Assessment of Value
Goals & Plans

Person Variables
Enviorment Variables
Behavior Variables
IN A TRIANGLE

Temporal Consistency of Prototypical Behaviors (time-based)
Presence of Similar Cues (behavior follows the cues)
Presence Similar Consequences (behavior follows the consequences)
Lack of Ability to Respond Adaptively

Observational, Vicarious, Modeling, Social Learning Theory, Social Cognitive Learning Theory

1)Exposure
+Attention
2)Acquisition (retaing & remembering)
+Motivation & Skill
3)Acceptance (doing in practice)

Observer is not otherwise distracted
Model is attractiveespected/admired
Model's behavior is consistent across situations
Several different models engage in the same behavior

Model is perceived as similar to the observer

Model is percieved as similar
Has high functional value
Model is seen as competentespected/admired
Is rewarded for engaging in the behavior

"I think I can"

Performance Accomplishments
Vicarious Experirnce
Verbal Persuasion
Reinterpret or Reduce Emotional Arousal

BP(behavior pattern)=RV(reinforcement value)XE(expectancy)

I-E Scale (I=Internal, E=External)/Predicitng behavior from beliefs

Your belief about and understanding of yourself

Changing for the situation (chameleon)

Having different selves, so if failing in one area its okay because you have other selves

gut & digestion

aggression & dominance

attachment and bonding
tend and befriend model ("female version of fight flight")

arousal & stimulation

fight, flight ,freeze, fornicate

process fear and anxiety

Memory

Ascending Reticular Activating System
bases in differences based on I & O

Passive Correlation= Bio parents create the enviorment you live in (double dosing)
Reactive Evocative Correlation= Others respond to our genetic potentials in ways that encourage
Active Correlation= Actively seek enviorment that aligns with our genetic potential
