Human Growth and Development / Unit 2 HGD 0173 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Niche-Picking
Captions available
The idea
Niche-picking is active gene–environment correlation: people seek out environments that fit their inherited tendencies, a pattern that grows with age.
In practice
A musical teenager choosing band practice over the drum set her parents once bought her.
Where people slip
Passive correlation is strongest in infancy and early childhood; evocative correlation stays steady; active correlation increases as children gain control.
