Question

Darcy is a cognitive neuroscience graduate student. While thinking about the direction of her research, she tries to decide which theoretical perspective on personality makes the most sense to her. If she emphasizes the importance of gene-environment interactions, then she will likely focus on the _____ perspective, but if she emphasizes the importance of how mental processes affect personality, then she will likely focus on _____.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is - biological; social-cognitive

Explanation:

If Darcy emphasizes the gene-environment interaction for her research about deciding which theoretical perspective on personality is a more sensible perspective then she is focusing on the biological perspective as genes are the biological unit of hereditary and responsible for traits.

if she emphasizes the importance of how mental or psychological processes affect personality, then she is focusing on socio-cognitive perspective as it depends on social interaction on personality.
