Answer to Question #131453 in Psychology for Junias

Question

What aspects of your own or someone you know well's development (e.g. interests, favorite past times, activities, choice of major) are probably due to a passive gene-environment correlation or niche-picking? Explain how those aspects developed due to the passive correlation or niche-picking and how those aspects have changed over time

Answer 1

The aspects of my life that developed due to niche-picking are; my love to football matches, reading books of philosophy, and hiking. These aspects of my life developed because my elder siblings and their friends, who happened to be our living in our neighborhood had great interest in them. Overtime, these aspects of my life have changed drastically due to the fact that I joined a boarding school, thus had limited time with my elder siblings and their friends.
