Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This scenario best exemplifies passive genotype-environment correlation because Johnathon's parents, who are both literary scholars, are providing an environment rich in literary resources and opportunities, which Johnathon is exposed to by virtue of living with them. This passive exposure may influence the development of Johnathon's literary interests and abilities, even if it is not directly intentional on the part of his parents or Johnathon himself. Reactive genotype-environment correlation would involve Johnathon actively seeking out literary opportunities in response to his own innate interests or abilities. The assumption of representativeness and the equal environments assumption are not directly relevant to this scenario.
