Question

additional support for biological influences on personality is established through research based in theory. a trait b three - factor model c person - centered d evolutionary please select the best answer from the choices provided

Explanation:

Evolutionary theory in psychology (a sub - field of Social Science, specifically Psychology) emphasizes biological influences. It looks at how traits (including aspects of personality) have evolved over time due to natural selection. Traits that were adaptive (helped in survival and reproduction) would be passed on. For example, traits like caution (which could help avoid danger) might have a biological basis rooted in evolutionary processes. The trait theory mainly focuses on identifying and categorizing personality traits (like the Big Five traits) without a strong emphasis on biological evolution. The three - factor model (e.g., Eysenck's model with extraversion, neuroticism, and psychoticism) has some biological components (like arousal levels related to extraversion) but is more about factor analysis of traits. The person - centered approach is more about humanistic aspects (individual's self - concept and self - actualization) rather than biological influences. So, evolutionary theory is the one that best provides additional support for biological influences on personality through its focus on how biological and genetic factors have been shaped over evolutionary time.

D. evolutionary
