Answer:

differential sensitivity theory

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that the theory that would best explain the different life outcomes would be genetic differential sensitivity theory. This theory basically poses that individuals that have a specific genetic makeup become more susceptible towards bad influences in the surroundings in which they grow up as opposed to people without those genetic makeups. Which would explain why Ashley is addicted to drugs but Jessica is a professor even though they both grew up in the same environment.

tatuchka [14]

Answer:  t=-5.651

Explanation:

Let \mu be the population mean number of hours a week answering their email.

As per given  we have

H_0: \mu\geq7\\\\ H_a: \mu

Sample size : n= 783

Sample mean : \overline{x}=5.54

Sample standard deviation: s=7.23

Since population standard deviation is unknown, so our test -statistic has a t-distribution.

Test statistic : t=\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}

=\dfrac{5.54-7}{\dfrac{7.23}{\sqrt{783}}}\\\\\\=\dfrac{-1.46}{0.2583791}\\\\\approx-5.651

∴ The test statistic : t=-5.651

Emily naturally blinks whenever her sister pretends she’s going to poke her in the eye. Her sister, a psychology major, then dec
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

The "snapping" of her fingers will have no effect or response in the scenario.

Explanation:

The situation above is related to the concept of "blocking" when it comes to Psychology. According to the<em> "blocking effect,"</em> conditioning to a particular stimulus will only be blocked<u> if that stimulus was reinforced in alignment with a conditioned stimulus before.</u>

So, in the situation above, the snapping of fingers refers to another unconditioned stimulus. Its conditioning was blocked because it was reinforced in compound with the previously conditioned stimulus. This time, the previously unconditioned stimulus<em> </em><em>(poking of Emily's eye</em>) becomes a conditioned stimulus. This is, primarily, because Emily has already gotten the association of the stimuli involved, so she no longer responded in the same manner or it had no more effect on her when her sister mentioned the word "Psychology."
