Question

The fundamental idea behind natural selection is that, within a particular environment, a genetically influenced trait tends to be more successful and thus able to survive and be passed on. environmental psychologists examine the __________ that led to survival, and which then led to further reproduction for survival. it doesn't matter to environmental psychologists whether those behavioral tendencies are adaptive in today's environment.

Answer 1

I believe the answer is:  behavioral tendencies

behavioural tendencies refers to the uncontrolled behaviour that is untrained and often arise under a certain situation without we being aware of it.

This type of tendencies are integrated within our brain as a form of survival mechanism. Examples of behavioural tendencies would be the fact that we become extremely cautious when we experience a spike in adrenaline that increase our response and concentration when we feel that we're in danger.
