Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nonshared environmental experiences refer to experiences that are unique to an individual and not shared with siblings or family members. The interactions between Leila/Grandmother and Alexander/Grandfather are unique to each child and therefore represent nonshared environmental experiences. Shared environmental experiences refer to experiences that are shared by siblings and family members, while evocative genotype-environment correlations refer to the notion that an individual's genetic makeup may influence the reactions they elicit from their environment. Shared experiences with peers are experiences that are shared with peers rather than family members.
