How was lamarks theory of evolution different than Darwin's theory?

Lamarck's theory of evolution proposed that traits acquired during the lifetime of the parent were genetically passed on to children. Some animal might, according to Lamarck's theory, learn a novel way of obtaining food, and then its children would be born with this novel mechanism already in place. Darwin, contrarily, proposed that lineages evolved new traits though natural selection: by the elimination of lineages that do *not* possess a certain trait.


What did Jean Lamarck do?

Lamarck was the first to create a theory of evolution. He pretty much stated that animals changed over time because they INHERITED their new trait that they had to have to survive. This was disproved. Charles Darwin found that animals changed due to NATURAL SELECTION. Natural selection is the process in which animals with a certain trait key to survival would survive in their environment and produce offspring more often than the ones without the new trait therefore passing it on to the next generation, and the next one.

What is trait theory in sports?

Trait Theory as I've learned it is more for leadership, in which "they" attempt to identify specific characteristics associated with success (could be physical, mental, personality, etc.). Basically trait theory says "he/she was born to do this". So say you see a tall kid, and think "he should be a great basketball player". Well, guess that's some stereotyping, but also applicable to trait theory. I personally buy into Process Theory more than Trait Theory, or at the very least a combination of the two.

What are the three major approaches to the study of leadership?

The three major approaches to the study of leadership are trait theory, behavioral theory, and contingency theory. Trait theory focuses on identifying inherent qualities that make someone a good leader, behavioral theory looks at the actions and behaviors that effective leaders exhibit, and contingency theory suggests that the effectiveness of leadership styles depends on situational factors.


What is the difference between trait and behavioral theory of leadership?

Behavioral theory, on the other hand, focuses on the actions and behaviors of a leader, emphasizing that effective leadership can be learned and developed through certain behaviors and styles.
