Behavior geneticist Sandra Scarr described three ways in which heredity and environment are correlated.Passive genotype-environment correlations occur because biological parents, who are genetically related to the child, provide a rearing environment for the child.
Evocative genotype-environment correlations occur because a child's characteristics elicit certain types of environments.
Active (niche-picking) genotype-environment correlations occur when children seek out environments that they find compatible and stimulating.
