NATURE VS. NURTURE

2 SIDES

• Nature- genetics and hormone based behavior
• Nurture- personal experiences and environment determine

GENETIC DETERMINISM
Mechanism by which genes, along with environmental conditions, determine morphological and behavioral phenotypes

QUESTIONS I CAME TO

• Are personalities genetic?
• Do genetics increase a persons likelihood of committing crimes?

MY CONCLUSIONS

• Personalities do have a genetic component
• The genetic framework for our personalities can be influenced by our environment
• Genes are not solely responsible for our personality
• Personality is a complex trait influenced by many different genetic and environmental factors
• Personality traits are polygenic
