Question
Chapter 35, Problem 11TYK
Summary Introduction
To determine: Why do identical twins make such a good subject for studying roles of inheritance and upbringing in human behavior and what studies suggest and the potential pitfalls of research and also the abuse in the use of these data if the studies are not evaluated critically.
Concept introduction:
Identical twins are also known as monozygotic twins as they develop from single zygote splitted to form two identical embryos. The twins are formed after the collapse of blastocyst and splitting of progenitor cells. The same genetic material is duplicated in both and developed of two fetuses take place.

Students have asked these similar questions
Is behavior determined
only by our genes?
This seems a little too absolute, but it is a valid
questions. How much of who we are is determined by
our genes (I'm including epigenetic parts in this)?
There are certain genes that we know are responsible
for intelligence, strength, sexuality, and so on. How
much is determined by genetics?
As research techniques and technologies change, new ethical questions arise about whether the benefits of these techniques and procedures justify their use. Which technologies do you consider are current threats to ethical behavior in science and threaten to exploit research subjects?
Identify which one of the four types of
validity: measurement validity, statistical
conclusion validity, internal validity, or
external validity-is it violated in each of the
following scenarios? Explain your decision.
After a successful Phase 3 clinical trial in
which their new drug improved symptoms in
children with asthma, the pharmaceutical
company announced in a press release that it
had developed an asthma drug that the
whole family can use.
As a test of intelligence, researchers
administered a 40-question American history
test to the study participants. The average
Score was 15 correct out of 40, thus
researchers concluded that study
participants are not very intelligent.

- Do you think the way this issue was handled should be a model for future situations involving potential dangers that might arise from research methods or results?arrow_forwardThe scientific method begins with posing a question to be answered. One of the important topics, such as how, what, when, why, where, who, or which, will be included in this inquiry. The question you're asking should likewise be measurable and testable. Although behavioral outcomes are part of the scientific method, it is typically something that may be assessed with a numerical result.arrow_forwardWhat are the ethical theories in animal experiments? Discuss each.arrow_forward
- What is the distinction between Normal and Post Normal Science? Give at least 2 realistic examples where these two concepts can be compared and contrasted.arrow_forwardHow could I explain systems thinking to someone who has not heard of this concept? What is one example of how systems thinking can be applied to affect positive outcomes.arrow_forwardWhat are the arguments for and against pathogenic gain-of-function research? What do you think about whether or not this type of research should be pursued and why?arrow_forward
- In double-blind studies neither the test subject or the researcher knows who was given the drug and who was given the control. Why are these studies effective for testing a drug that may elevate mood and relieve feelings of depression? Since there are two symptoms that are affected, a double-blind study is required. Double-blind studies are ways to ensure that only the researcher can figure out who is getting the effective drug. Double-blind studies are the most economical way to gather results from testing on humans. The patients and researchers are not given this information so they cannot be influenced in reporting the effectiveness.arrow_forwardCome up with five ethical guidelines for research. Write statements that reflect your own views of what is right and wrong. If you really love animals, an example of one guideline might be "No animals may be used in research of any kind." However, when coming up with these guidelines, be thoughtful about what they really mean. Think of the information you read about earlier. Try to phrase your guidelines in a way that would allow research that you think would be beneficial to still be done. You may find that certain circumstances may cause you to rethink your own ethics!arrow_forwardExplain in one paragraph how heredity (nature) can play a role in shaping one's personality and in a second paragraph how environment (nurture) can play a role in shaping one's personality. You must provide examples that demonstrate evidence of each.arrow_forward
- Explain why does only male mice used for testing behavioral studies, why not include the female mice and it is important to use both sex of mice for behavioral studies?arrow_forwardIn a recent experiment, participants were to take 7,000 steps per day. Group A received a payment of $1.40 per day if they achieved the goal. Group B received a lump sum payment of $42; $1.40 was deducted daily for each day they did not achieve their goal. At the end of the experiment, Group B was significantly more successful in achieving the 7,000 steps per day. Upon which of the following behavioral economics concepts was this experiment based? O Setting defaults O Doing the right thing O Creating anchors O Loss aversionarrow_forwardHuman behavioral traits are quantitative traits. What does it mean? What are these environmental factors affecting human behaviors? Please list them as many as you can. Based on the research results on the genetics of human behaviors, what do you think about the debate of 'Nature vs. Nurture'? Are we responsible for our behaviors or it is in our genes? Please explain?arrow_forward
