Genetics and Personality

When we talk about genetic determinants of personality or behavior, we exactly are referring to “Nature versus Nurture” and “Heredity versus Environment”. The geneticist conforms that the genes separate; the complex genetics have lesser ability of being together where the absence of inbreeding and other mating chance. The musical ability, family traits and mathematical ability affect human ability, which are vigilant in early stage. If the stress continues, known that the apes that brought up like human children in the human homes since infancy still acts like apes. Similarly, the whites who have been living in Africa since generations do not become blacks by non-generic means nor does the African living in either country become white (Kruger & Johnson, 2008).

When there are genes versus environment, the behavior genetics concept is visible. It is the difference among individuals, classified into genetic versus environment components. The most common of that are the family studies, adoption studies and twin studies. The environmental influence can be categories in to shared environment and non-shared environment (unique environment). The shared environment is the environment where the siblings brought up in the same family. The variables like parent education and socioeconomic class are of importance in it. The non-shared environment is the unique environment or the where individuals brought up in different environment here the variables include peer groups.

Example, a personality of twins was studies and found that the twins living under shared environment were totally two different individuals. The reason is that thought the environment in the home shared.
