one-dimensional model

Genetic Contributions to Psychopathology
- phenotype(observable charateristics)
- genotype (genetic makeup)
- polygenic (many gene contributions)
less then 50 %
, diathesis-stress model
- genetic vulnerability or predeposition (diathisis) interact with the enviroment and life
events(stressors) to trigger behaviors of pychological disorders
passive diathesis
The types of genes a child inherits may be correlated with the environment they are
raised
ex: individuals inherit genes of lower IQ and are raised in a non-intellectually rich
environment
evocative diathesis
individual's genes may lead to behavior that evokes a response from the enviroment
ex: antisocial child (noncomplaint, aggresive) may evoke a response from the enviroment
(harsh, punative parenting)
proactive diathesis
individuals' genes make the selection of certain environments more likely (not random
who decides who gets into extreme sports)
epigentics
The study of environmental influences on gene expression that occur without a DNA
change
agonist
