Within groups, differences in intelligence are highly correlated with_______. Between groups, differences are highly correlated with ________.
a) heritability: environment
b)environment: genes
c) heritability:random error in measurment
d) genes: the heritability estimate
my answer choice was A but i am conflicted with B. They both seem to be correct although I think A may be the answer I go with. What do you all think?
I disagree with both A and B.
Ok now am confused, if its not A or B then is it C? because the book states the following "although intellectual differences within groups are at least partly genetic in orgin, that does not mean differences between groups are genetic.
answer is D
The question is asking about the correlation between intelligence differences and certain factors within groups and between groups. To determine the correct answer choice, let's break down the options given.
a) Heritability: Environment:
This option suggests that within groups, differences in intelligence are highly correlated with heritability, while between groups, differences are highly correlated with the environment.
b) Environment: Genes:
This option suggests that within groups, differences in intelligence are highly correlated with the environment, while between groups, differences are highly correlated with genes.
c) Heritability: Random Error in Measurement:
This option suggests that within groups, differences in intelligence are highly correlated with heritability, while random errors in measurement play a role between groups.
d) Genes: The Heritability Estimate:
This option suggests that within groups, differences in intelligence are highly correlated with genes, while the heritability estimate is highly correlated between groups.
Considering the question and these answer choices, it seems that option b) "Environment: Genes" is the correct answer. Within groups, differences in intelligence could be attributed to environmental factors such as upbringing, education, and experiences. On the other hand, between groups, differences in intelligence might be influenced by genetic variations among individuals.
Therefore, I recommend choosing b) "Environment: Genes" as your answer.
