In the “nature/nurture” debate regarding the roots of human intelligence, which of the following would be considered a “nature”-based factor?

Two small rural high schools – LeRoy and Caledonia – had historically been huge rivals. They played in the same football league and one of the two schools always won the regional championship. The players on the two teams consistently held many prejudicial attitudes towards one another, which often turned into physical fights when they played one another. Starting this year though, for budgetary reasons, these two schools were merged into a single larger school and the football players from LeRoy and Caledonia now found themselves on the same team. Initially the players from the two towns were antagonistic toward one another, but by the end of the season, most of those issues had disappeared. This would be an example of what method to reduce prejudice and discrimination?

While Dana was walking down the street one night, someone grabbed her purse and ran off. Dana didn’t get a particularly good look at the person because of how dark it was. She thought they were of roughly medium height and build (maybe 5’7” and 140 pounds). She couldn’t see any more detail than that though, including what gender the person was. When she got back to her apartment and told her roommate what happened, her roommate immediately asked, “Well, what did the man look like?” Dana said that it was dark and hard to tell. The next day Dana went to file a police report. When the officer asked Dana to describe the suspect, Dana not only described the individual as male, she also described the individual as being slightly taller and larger (5’9”; 160 pounds) that what she had actually seen the night before. The change in Dana’s memory of the suspect based upon her roommate asking about the event is consistent with what memory issue?

Rhonda’s friends describe her as a highly unstable person. One week she’ll do nothing but lay in bed.

During these periods she’ll hardly sleep at all and she’ll speak in a super quick tempo to anyone about each and every idea that goes through her head. Given the symptoms and most likely diagnosis above, which treatment would a mental health professional be most likely to suggest for Rhonda?
