Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: There is growing evidence to support the idea that some traits are influenced by hereditary factors. The area of study focusing on the connection between genetics and personality is often called behavioral genetics which studies the relationship between genetic or hereditary factors and personality traits.

Answer to Question 2

FEEDBACK: Despite Cattell's legitimate claim that factor analysis is an objective, precise technique, critics argue that the opportunity exists for subjectivity to affect the outcome. At several stages in the research process, decisions are required that may be influenced by personal preferences.
