What is heritability?

Back 1

statistic that referes to the proportion of observed variance in a group of individuals that can be accounted for be genetic variance

Front 2

what is phenotypic variance

Back 2

observed differences

Front 3

what is genotypic variance

Back 3

individual differences in a total collection of genes possesed by a person

Front 4

what are some heritability probelms

Back 4

not at all exact, only true to one group at one time, does not work on the individual level

Front 5

What is a passive genotype environment

Back 5

parents provide genes and environment and children do nothing to obtain it

Front 6

Front 11

what are the 3 products of evolution

Back 11

adaptations - reliably developing structures in an organism that causes a soultion to an adaptive problem

byproducts - unintended consequences of adaptations

noise - random variences that is evolutionarily neutral

Front 12

designed to solve a particular problem

Front 13

what are the 3 levels of consiousness

Back 14

conscious - thoughts and feelings one is currently aware of
preconscious - not on the mind but can be easily recalled.
unconscious - unaccesable info

Front 15

primary process thinking

Back 15

thinking without logical rules of thought or anchor in reality

Front 16

secondary process thinking

Back 16

development of stragegies for problem solveing.

Front 17

id ego superego

Back 17

id are carnal desires not grounded in reality that develop first

ego comes next it is the regulator that engages in secondary process thinkinh

superego develops last set of morals and values that is not always anchored in reality

Front 18

ego depletion

Back 18

frued = closed system
baumeister - muscle

the ego can get tired

Front 19

freuds anxiety types

Back 19

objective - fear of external threats
neurotic - id v ego
moral superego v ego

Front 20

defense mechanisms

Back 20

protect the ego an minimize anxiety
repression (top of all them(
denial - one form day dreaming
displacement - can be anger or sexual or fear must be unconscious, proven to not be a defense mechanism
rationalization - bigger with more educated people
sublimation - "leads to the best accomplishments"

Front 21

fundamental attribution error

Back 21

blaming things on factors outside of ones control

Front 22

false consensus effect

identification

Back 24

wants to become like dad so can get someone like mom

Front 25

penis envy

Back 25

opposite of castration anxiety

gene by enviroment interactions

Back 33

include enviroment in understanding and one is more sucessful

diathesis stress model

Front 34

molecular genetics vs behavior genetics

Back 34

molecular focuses on particular genes
behavior focuses on heritability

Front 35

heritablity estimate
shared enviroment
error or non shared enviroment

Back 35

A = 2(Rmz- Rdz)
C = 2(Rmz- Rdz) - A
E = 100 - A - C

Front 36

irrelevent varieation

Back 36

high traits are random and get dumbed down across genereations

idividual difference is trivial

Front 37

directional variation

Back 37

slow accumulation of bad traits leads to mental disorders, people with a lot of bad traits unlikely to reproduce

linked to GFP w/ social selectivity

Front 38

frequency dependence

Back 38

niches good, lead to variation
