The text provides students with an understanding of heredity, its DNA basis, and contemporary genomic science, including introducing the methods used to discover genetic influence on behavior. It then examines what is known about genetic influence on cognitive ability, psychopathology, substance abuse, personality, health psychology, and aging. Finally, it describes the future of the field of Behavioral Genetics, an area where some of the most exciting development in the behavioral sciences are being made.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eValerie Knopik\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor and Department Head of Human Development and Family Studies at Colorado State University and Faculty Fellow at the Institute for Behavioral Genetics.
