Card: 15 / 50
|
What role do environmental factors play in human development? |
|
|
Card: 16 / 50
|
Environmental factors interact with genetic predispositions to influence an individual's development within genetic limits, shaping unique characteristics from infancy to adolescence.  |
|
|
Card: 17 / 50
|
Fill in the blanks: Genetic transmission involves combinations of numerous genes, forming an individual's ___, with not all genetic material visibly expressed in ___ . |
|
|
Card: 18 / 50
|
Genotype; phenotype |
|
|
Card: 19 / 50
|
True or False: The phenotype is solely determined by environmental influences. |
|
|
Card: 20 / 50
|
False. The phenotype is influenced by both genetic factors and environmental conditions.  |
|
|
Card: 21 / 50
|
How do parents influence their children's development beyond genetic material? |
|
|
Card: 22 / 50
|
Parents create environments that may align with their genetic predispositions, thereby influencing their children's development through both genetics and the environment.  |
|
|
Card: 23 / 50
|
What is the significance of understanding the interplay between genes and environment in relation to academic success? |
|
|
Card: 24 / 50
|
Understanding this interplay helps explain individual outcomes like academic success and job attainment, highlighting how both inherited traits and external circumstances shape opportunities.  |
|
|

Card: 27 / 50
|
What are the main components of Urie Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory? |
|
|
Card: 28 / 50
|
The main components are the microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, macrosystem, and chronosystem.  |

|
|
Card: 30 / 50
|
Microsystem  |
|
|
Card: 31 / 50
|
True or False: The exosystem includes social settings that directly involve the individual. |
|
|
Card: 32 / 50
|
False. The exosystem includes events in social settings that do not directly involve the individual but affect their immediate context.  |
|
|
Card: 33 / 50
|
What does the macrosystem encompass in Bronfenbrenner's model? |
|
|
Card: 34 / 50
|
The macrosystem encompasses the cultural environment in which an individual resides. |
|
|
Card: 35 / 50
|

|
|
Card: 36 / 50
|
The upper layers such as home, school, and peer groups significantly influence a child's development. |
|
|
Card: 37 / 50
|

|
|
Card: 38 / 50
|
School entry, marriage, parenthood  |
|
|
Card: 39 / 50
|
What role does the chronosystem play in individual development according to Bronfenbrenner? |
|
|
Card: 40 / 50
|
