Passive gene-environment correlation refers to the situation where children inherit genetic tendencies from their parents, and the parents also provide an environment that matches their own genetic tendencies. In this case, the lack of resources such as quality medical care, nutritious foods, and educational outings is not actively sought by the child or evoked by the child's behavior but is a consequence of the environment provided by the parents, which correlates with the parents' socioeconomic status and potentially their own intelligence levels.
