The Maury Show

The Maury Show is a talk show that is brodcasted Monday-Friday at 4:oopm. The show deals with people trying to find their biological father in most cases. They use what psychologist call a paternal test or a DNA test. The test is done from the mouth and the results are reported to the parents as soon as the results are in. In some cases the test come out positive meaning that the child belongs to the father. Sometimes the test comes out negative. This means that the DNA tested that the father is not the biological parent to the child/infant.


Connection to The Course

The Maury Show relates to psychology because in chapter 9 we discussed the term DNA(deoxyribonucleic acid) which is the molecular structure of a gene that provides the genetic code. Examples would be the blood type,inherited disorders and eye color.
