This research aims to explore how genotypes direct experiences that shape environments and influence development.
Proposed a theory integrating different types of genotype-environment effects: passive, evocative, and active.
Utilized findings from studies involving deprivation, intervention, twins, and families to support the theory.
Highlighted three forms of genotype-environment correlations affecting development: passive, evocative, and active.
Demonstrated that genotypic differences lead to variations in environments and subsequent developmental outcomes.

Scarr et al. (1983) studied this question.
