Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether genetics plays a role in individual athletic ability and the approach used to study this behavior.

Introduction: Reaction of an individual towards external or internal stimuli, which alters one’s response to the environment, is known as one’s behavior. Behaviors are either innate or learned, according to the psychologists. The behavior with which an individual is born is known as the innate behavior and the behavior which an individual acquires through experience is known as learned behavior. Twin and adoption studies are used to understand the factors influencing individual behavior.

Larsen and Buss present four key research designs used in the behavioral genetic study of personality. Briefly review the key features of these designs and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each design. Why would it be particularly powerful for a set of results (such as heritability and environmental estimates) to be documented using more than one design? Refer to a specific personality trait in formulating your answer to this question
I'm having trouble finding the dependent and independent variables of this scenaro:  Average IQ scores for young school children are known to be 100 (SD = 15).  However, the literature indicates that children’s intelligence may be decreased if their mothers have German measles during pregnancy.  Using hospital records, a researcher obtained a sample of n = 25 school children whose mothers all had German measles during their pregnancies.  Do the data indicate that children born to mothers who had German measles during the pregnancy have significantly lower IQ scores than typical young school children?
