Psychology Concepts Quiz
Welcome to the Psychology Concepts Quiz! This quiz is designed to test your understanding of central tendency, genetic concepts, and other fundamental psychological principles. It's perfect for students, educators, or anyone interested in psychology.
Take the challenge and see how well you know:
- Measures of central tendency
- Genetic inheritance
- Epigenetics
- Variability and its implications
- Psychological phenomena and theories
What are the three measures of Central Tendency—define or give me an example of each one for me.
Mean is arithmetic average of set of scores found by adding all scores together and dividing by the number of scores.
Median represents a halfway mark in the data set, with half of scores above and half below.
Mode refers to the score that occurs most frequently, and it is easy to determine by looking at a histogram. (Most frequently occuring scores in a set of scores.
Mean, Mode, and Median are all variables
Are Mean, Median, and Mode averages?
Yes
No
What does variability mean?
Scores vary. Variability refers to the extent to which they differ from one another or from their mean.
The differences are measured using a standard deviation.
In the ideal curve, 95% of the scores will fall within how many standard deviation of the mean?
Within 2 standard deviations
Within three standard deviations.
If the mean score is 6 and the standard deviation is 1 what would be two standard deviations below and two standard deviation above the mean be.
4
8
9

5

What is the genotype for a person who inherits Type A blood from Mom and Type O from Dad?
AO
AA
AB
BB
What is epigenetics?
The study of gene-enviroment interactions in the production of phenotypes
The probability that two people share the same allele from a common ancestor.
What could that result in for identical twins?
Having identical genotypes does not guarantee identical phenotypes, or observed characteristics.
Having identical genotype's guarantees identical phenotype's.
Could one identical twin be taller than the other? Why or why not?
Yes depending on what one twin eats how her environment is how she takes care of his/her body
No. Twins are identical and cannot vary in height, eye color, or appearance.
What does a heritability ratio of 1.0 mean?
If genes are totally responsible for all phenotypical differences among individuals, heritability is 1.0.
Genes are not responsible for phenotype.
Hunntington's has a heritabile index of 1.0. What does that mean?
Even if one parent has it, you will inherit it
What that means is that if someone inherits the gene for Huntington’s disease, it is inevitable that he/she will acquire the disease
If you get the gene you will get the disease.
What is genetic drift?
Change in a populations genes from one generation to the next because of chance of accident
Migrated out of DNA
What is Reciprocal Altruism?
Help you provide for another person when you expect the person to return the favor in the future.
Behavior on behalf of another that fails to benefit or harms, the individual performing it.
