Group evaluating Biological explanations of depression. by Victoria Hindle https://padlet.com/victoria_hindle/vhgim17dujid en-us 2016-03-18 12:42:59 UTC 2018-04-16 09:25:47 UTC hello@padlet.com Strengths and weaknesses of adoption studies https://padlet.com/victoria_hindle/vhgim17dujid/wish/245454186 Weakness: information of biological parents may not be available, leading to a lack of data for comparison

strength: helps differentiate between biological and environmental factors as there is a different environment 

limitation
incomplete information about their family history and placement for adoption is not random as some agencies try to match some adoptions similar to their biological family in terms of community and culture or even ethnicity and this could make it more difficult for one to determine if this is genetically driven or mentally driven.

Adoption studies establish a genetic link in depression showing how growing in a different environment  can still lead to developing depression.

Limitations
Environmental factors can still have had an impact in child developing depression. Children not always enjoy their experience in foster care, and moreover are prone to bullying once in school, which could have impacted them later in life.]]> 2018-04-16 09:15:29 UTC https://padlet.com/victoria_hindle/vhgim17dujid/wish/252049958 Strengths and weaknesses of adoption studies. https://padlet.com/victoria_hindle/vhgim17dujid/wish/252050835 strengths:
unlike twins, in adoption studies, individuals are exposed to a new environment to their biological or relative genes, which makes it easy to distinguish genetic factors from environmental factors.

Limitations:
Adoption is not a random process as children are often placed in families similar to their biological families.

  • Unlike twin studies, in adoption studies individuals are exposed to a different environment to their biological or genetic relatives. This makes it easier to separate genetic and environmental factors.
Limitation.
