Question 1
Consistently, the short 5-HTTLPR genotype combined with maladaptive parenting leads to
◦ externalizing problems, including defiance and aggression.
◦ inhibited social behavior and very low rates of peer acceptance.
◦ decreased emotional reactivity as a result of withdrawal.
◦ increased fearfulness during maternal separation.
Question 2
Cross-cultural research demonstrates that
◦ fathers' warmth contributes greatly to children's long-term favorable development.
◦ fathers who devote little time to physical caregiving do not express much parental warmth.
◦ mothers' and fathers' relationships with their partners and with their children are not linked.
◦ fathers' warmth cannot protect children against emotional and behavioral problems.
