Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Evocative genotype-environment correlation occurs when an individual's (in this case, Hannah's) genetically influenced behaviors or traits evoke responses from others in their environment, leading to a reinforcement of the individual's traits. Hannah's easy temperament, likely influenced by her genetic makeup, evokes positive responses from those around her, thus influencing her environment in a way that complements her genetic predispositions.
