Genetics, Evolutionary Psychology, and Behavior 3C 1 Behavior Genetics: Predicting Individual Differences Behavior Geneticists - study our differences and weigh the relative effects of heredity and environment on behavior and personality. 2 Nurture and Human Diversity Environment: Parents Prenatal Experience Peer Influence Culture Gender 3 Genes: Our Codes for Life DNA (deoxyribonucleic) – complex molecule containing the genetic info that makes up the chromosome. Chromosomes – threadlike structures made up of DNA molecules that contain genes •Any genetic basis for a trait are located in chromosomes •23 from mother and 23 from father •Located within bone cells 4 Genes: Our Codes for Life Genes - small segments of DNA that are the biochemical units of heredity. •Capable of synthesizing a protein •One or more genes are responsible for expression or repression of a particular trait 5 Genome Genome - set of complete instructions for making an organism, containing all the genes in that organism. • human genome makes us human •the genome for drosophila makes it a common house fly. 6 The threadlike structures that contain genes are called Genomes Synapses Neurons Chromosomes Hormones 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 11 12 13 15 16 17 18 0% on es es ro ns se s 14 0% Ho rm 3 0% Ch ro m os om 2 0% Sy na p 1 Ge no m es 0% Ne u 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 19 20 7 DNA is a complex Molecule Synapse Gene Genome Neuron 7 8 9 10 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 11 12 13 14 15 16 0% 17 18 on e 0% Ne ur 6 0% Ge no m 5 Sy na p le 4 cu 3 ol e 2 M 1 0% se 0% Ge ne 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 19 8 20 The biochemical units of heredity that make up the chromosomes are called Genomes Molecular genetics Heredity Behavior geneticists genes 5 6 7 8 9 10 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 11 12 13 15 16 17 18 es 0% ge n et . .. 0% io rg en e. .. ge n lar 14 0% ha v 4 0% Be 3 ol e 2 M 1 cu Ge no m es 0% He re di ty 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 19 20 9 Twin Biology Studying the effects of heredity and environment on twins 1. Identical twins raised together - share the same portion of the chromosomes that determines a single trait or ____________ 2. Identical twins raised apart – same genes, different environment 3. Fraternal twins – different genes, same environment 10 Identical Twins Studies Twin Studies Temperament, Intelligence Abilities, Attitudes Interests, Fears Brain Waves, Heart Rate Caution: any two strangers are likely to share 11 coincidental similarities. IdenticalTwins and IQ • Bouchard Study • .69 Correlational coefficient for IQ tests of identical twins raised apart. • .88 raised together. Twins and Personality Temperament - a person’s stable emotional reactivity and intensity…part of your personality that you are born with. •Extroverted (outgoing) & fearless v. Introverted (shy) & cautious •Identical twins express similar temperaments 13 Separated Identical Twins and Personality •Identical Twins separated at birth – no extreme differences in personality •Differences between fraternal twins are greater than identical twins. Twin Studies Temperament, Intelligence Abilities, Attitudes Interests, Fears Bob Sacha Brain Waves, Heart Rate 14 Adoption Studies •Adoptees - Personalities are different from their adoptive parents and siblings. •Environment shared by a family’s children has relatively no impact on their personalities 15 Personality • Big 5 Traits – – – – – Extroversion – outgoing Agreeableness - cooperative and compassionate Conscientiousness – self-disciplined Neuroticism – negative emotions Openness – willingness to experience new things 16 Twins Studies 17 Parental Influence • Parents do influence: – – – – – Attitudes Values Manners Faith politics 18 Heritability Heritability refers to the extent to which the differences among people are attributable to genes Heritability is numerical value with a range from 0.0 to 1.0 0 = genes do not contribute at all to individual differences High environmentability 1.0 = genes are the only reason for individual differences High heritability For human behavior, almost all estimates of heritability are in the moderate range of .30 to .60. Applies to populations not individuals Two boys raised in a barrel with identical environmental conditions would have a heritability of ______? 19 20 Heritability and Big 5 • Big 5 Traits – – – – – Extroversion Agreeableness Conscientiousness Neuroticism Openness Heritability .67 .52 .59 .48 .63 21 Gene-Environment Interaction Genes and environment affect our traits individually, but more important are their interactive effects. Alessia Pierdomenico/Reuters/Corbis Rex Features People respond differently to Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean) than Orlando bloom. 22 Twins Studies 23 The New Frontier: Molecular Genetics Molecular genetics is a branch extension of behavior genetics that asks the question, “Do genes influence behavior?” It seeks to identify the specific genes 24 influencing behavior Studies of identical twins who had been reared apart most clearly highlight the importance of ________ in personality development. 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 11 12 13 14 15 en e 17 on s 0% ed is p os it i vir on m lat re 16 0% en ts ive s n tio Ad o 2 pt ive M ut a ec t io el ls ur a Na t 1 0% pr 0% Ge ne tic 0% Ho m Natural selection Mutation Adoptive relatives Home environments Genetic predispositions n 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 18 19 20 25 Adoptive parents are most likely to influence the ________ of their adopted children. 6 7 8 9 10 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 11 12 14 15 16 y ali t pe r ve 17 0% so n rs io n 0% t ei gh tu de s tti la 13 0% Ex tra 5 ca 4 iti 3 Po l 2 Ad ul t 1 0% w 0% Ad ul t Adult height Political attitudes Adult weight Extraversion personality he ig ht 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 18 19 20 26 Heritability refers to the extent to which 8 9 10 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 11 12 16 di v io n am on g in de t lit y 0% id .. . 0% er . .. .. t. at pe re 15 rs on a co nt ro ls to su l re n 14 ra i cc u ls s id ua di v in 13 iat 7 0% 17 Va r 6 In fa nt 5 Nu rtu 4 ob ta i 3 An 2 Un re la t 1 0% rr. . h. .. 0% ed 1.

L.N. Trur, American Scientist (1999) 87: 160-169 Any trait that is favored naturally or artificially spreads to future generations. 32 Human Sexuality Gender Differences in Sexuality Question (summarized) Male Female Casual sex 60% 35% Sex for affection 25% 48% Think about sex everyday 54% 19% 33 Mating Preferences Females •Select one male because of the higher costs involved with pregnancy, nursing and childcare. •Look for maturity, dominance, affluence and boldness Males •Mate with multiple females to spread genes •Look for youthful appearance and at ages associated with peak fertility. •If older wants younger women •IF teenager want 34 women a few yrs. older Criticisms of Evolutionary Psych • Works backwards to propose and explanation • Underestimates cultural expectations on human sexual behavior • Unethical and immoral men could use explanations to rationalize behavior toward women • Does not consider the importance 35 of individual choices • Explain how an evolutionary psychologist might explain why humans developed into omnivores, eating both meat and plants. 36
