科学领域:
- 发展心理学 发展心理学
- 神经科学是一个神经科学.
- 儿童精神病学 儿童精神病学
背景情况:
- 软无情 (CU) 特性源于神经生理因素和环境影响之间的复杂相互作用.
- 了解CU特征早期生物和环境预测因素的具体时间和相对影响仍然是一个关键的研究缺口.
研究的目的:
- 为了确定哪些早期的生物和环境因素,在特定的发育时间点,最强烈地预测了后来的CU特征.
- 检查交感神经系统 (SNS) 和下丘脑-垂体-上腺 (HPA) 轴以及逆境指数对CU特征和行为障碍 (CD) 的预测影响.
主要方法:

Trait and State Self-Esteem

The term self-esteem is often used generically, to refer to how people feel about themselves. However, according to research, there are three distinct constructs that should not be used interchangeably (Brown & Marshall, 2006).

Polygenic Traits
69.1K
When more than one gene is responsible for a given phenotype, the trait is considered polygenic. Human height is a polygenic trait. Studies have uncovered hundreds of loci that influence height, and there are believed to be many more. Due to the high number of genes involved, as well as environmental and nutritional factors, height varies significantly within a given population. The distribution of height forms a bell-shaped curve, with relatively few individuals in the population at the...

Causes of Social Behavior III: Biological and Environmental Influences
310
Social behavior is a complex phenomenon that arises from the interaction between biological predispositions and environmental influences. This intricate interplay shapes how individuals think, feel, and act in various social contexts. Understanding these mechanisms requires insights from psychology, neuroscience, genetics, and evolutionary theory.Environmental Influences on Social BehaviorEnvironmental factors, including temperature, odors, and visual stimuli, play a crucial role in shaping...

Traits and States
561
Personality traits represent consistent patterns in behavior, thoughts, and emotions, reflecting an individual's tendencies across various situations. For example, extraversion, a well-known trait, manifests in individuals as talkative, energetic, and enthusiastic behaviors. These traits are stable over time, offering a reliable framework for predicting how people might act in different contexts. However, they do not define every moment of an individual's life. In contrast to traits,...

X-linked Traits
58.8K
In most mammalian species, females have two X sex chromosomes and males have an X and Y. As a result, mutations on the X chromosome in females may be masked by the presence of a normal allele on the second X. In contrast, a mutation on the X chromosome in males more often causes observable biological defects, as there is no normal X to compensate. Trait variations arising from mutations on the X chromosome are called “X-linked”.
