The fact that some Americans boycotted Arab American stores and came against Middle Easterners is best described under the Scapegoat theory.

<h3>What is the scapegoat theory?
</h3>

This is a theory that posits that people who blame someone for something that happened, might display prejudice to members of the same group that the person they blame is from.

The 9/11 attacks were perpertrated by Arabs from the Middle East and so Americans displayed prejudice towards them as a result of the scapegoat theory.

Shkiper50 [21]

 

Explanation:

Causation and correlation are that are mostly misunderstood and often used interchangeably. Understanding both statistical terms is very important not to make conclusions but more importantly, making a correct conclusion at the end. Correlation is a statistical technique that tells us how strongly the variables are linearly related and change together. It does not tell us why and how behind the relationship but it does say just the relationship exists. Correlation doesn't mean causality  

For example, ice cream doesn't cause death among people  

Correlation is something that we can think when we can't see under the cover. So the less information we have, the more we are forced to observe the correlation

C : the inheritance of behavioral and psychological traits

Explanation:

Genetics can be defined as the scientific study of hereditary in living organisms such as humans, animals and plants.

Heredity refers to the transfer of traits (specific characteristics) from the parent of a living organism to her offspring through sexual reproduction or asexual production. Some examples of hereditary traits are dimples, tongue rolling, baldness, handedness, freckles, curly hair, color blindness, height, etc.

As a behavioral geneticist, Juan would most likely be studying the inheritance of behavioral and psychological traits.

For example, Juan as a behavioral geneticist would most likely study a gene that is typically responsible for behavioral and psychological traits such as an aggressive behavior, shyness, anger, talkativeness, lying, etc., in living organisms (humans).
