TIPSfolk,

In my summer school class, a student responded to a question on the
section on evolutionary psych/ sociobiology that resiliency in children is
a phenotype.  I think that this student picked up on an interesting idea,
but I'm not sure if "resiliency" fits the defintion of phenotype. 
However, one could say that a child who is resilient might fit the Thomas
and Chess notion of an "easy" temperament, which might be considered a
"phenotype."

Opinions?
