Compare and contrast the candidate gene association study method and the genomewide association method for the study of psychological disorders.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

What conclusions may be drawn from the research on recovered/false memories?
 
  A) Just because someone is able to provide a detailed memory of an event and is confident that it is accurate, the remembered event may not actually have happened.
   B) Memories of childhood trauma that are recovered after a person enters therapy tend to be more reliable than memories recovered before therapy.

   D) Although there is limited research evidence, most cases of dissociative identity disorder have been associated with repressed memories of sexual abuse trauma.

Answer to Question 1

The candidate gene association study uses a comparison method to study specific genes for a trait/disorder found in a population with the disorder and contrasts this against a well-matched group without the trait/disorder. This approach requires that a gene or genes be identified in advance. Replicability of findings is difficult in these studies. The genomewide association method also uses large groups and well-matched controls; however, hundreds of thousands of genetic risk factors are tested for association in the same study. This allows for the discovery of new or previously unknown associations.
