smell like peanut butter and operas will smell like rotting trash. Highly prevalent, grapheme-color synesthesia is reported to affect at least 1.39% of the population, with most reporters being female (Simner & Carmichael, 2015). A study around monozygotic male twins provides evidence supporting an equal dispersal among both binary genders (Smilek, Dixon, & Merikle, 2005). Inheritance patterns among 17 families were studied and found that if one person is diagnosed as a synaesthete, there was…

Everyday I come across a pregnant woman or even teens. Transitioning from Belize to America, two different environments, where the rules are totally different took a little while to get use to. I find out that you could be pregnant and still be able to go to school in America, this was surprising because, if that happened at my old school the person would be expelled. Things I see around my environment I tend to question but just I silently observe. It is most commonly that there is only one…

The opposing views of “nature versus nurture” have evoked an abundance of disagreements ever since the early years. Both sides of the debate theorize that every individual has different personalities. The “nature” aspect argues that our genes influence our character, while the “nurture” aspect argues that our environments influence our character. This controversial issue in psychology has convincing ideas from both perspectives, which is why it is still a widely talked issue by social scientists…

Is Homosexuality biologically based? This is a question that is gaining major interest and research as the number of homosexuals is increasing. Homosexuals are defined as either males who are sexual oriented toward other males or females being sexually oriented toward other females; sexual orientation being defined as “a preference for [either] same-sex [or] opposite sex sexual attraction and attachment”, this may or may not involve intercourse (Rahman & Wilson, 2003). Researchers are on the…

But Sprigg fails to acknowledge Dr. Bailey experiment that contained 244 pairs of twins. Sprigg’s merit could be question because withholding information to support his argument is fraudulent. Although Dr. Bailey did conduct an experiment with 27 pairs of twins, he later conducted an experiment with 244 pairs of twin. By increasing the group size it also increased the accuracy. Hypothetically it can be assumed that if we were to test every pair of twins that contain the Xq28 gene, the percentage…

Nurture is defined as the collective impact of all environmental factors that affect growth and behavior. Because it is very difficult to control the differences in the environments of people with severe anxiety, determining the main factor is problematic. Many psychologists believe that anxiety is a product of childhood experiences. If a child is raised in a harmful environment, it will reflect on his or her behavior during adolescence and adult life. This is not only believed for diseases,…

From a clinical mental health view, schizophrenia is a chronic mental illness that effects 50 million Americans (Potvin, Lungu, Tikasz, & Mendrek, (2017). Schizophrenia is recognized for its abnormal hallucinations and delusions which is known to manifest in late adolescent and early adulthood (Gasso, Sanchez-Gistau, Mas, Sugranyes, Rodriguez, Boloc, & Castro-Fornieles, 2016; Telles-Correia, Moreira, Marques, Saraiva, Moreira, Antunes, & Dos Santos, 2016). Why schizophrenia is a concern to the…

Identical twins develop from a monozygotic and are genetically identical. Research has shown that “identical twins have the same genes. Yet as individuals, they can be quite unalike in behavior, in personality, in health, and even in appearance, and they tend to grow more different as they…

Chapter one begins by explaining how lifespan development has a more scientific approach to common questions. Lifespan development is a field of study that looks into patterns of growth, change, and stability that occur throughout an entire life. Some more vocabulary covered in this module is physical development, which includes the development of the body’s physical makeup, such as the brain, nervous system, muscles, and senses, and how food, drink, and sleep are essential for proper function.…
