Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Active gene-environment correlation occurs when an individual's genetic predispositions influence their exposure to particular environments, and vice versa. This occurs through actions such as seeking out certain activities or environments that are a good fit for one's genetic predispositions, or evoking specific responses from the environment based on those predispositions. Therefore, choice A of "actions" is the best answer. The other choices - beliefs, characteristics, and demeanor - are not incorrect per se, but they do not capture the active component of the correlation between genes and environments.
