Q

Explain Heredity factors of personality like tune about it ?

A

reading this shit is enough to waffle it

  • Factors determined at conception: physical stature, facial attractiveness, gender, temperament, muscle composition and reflexes, energy level, and biorhythms
  • This “Heredity Approach” argues that genes are the source of personality
  • Twin studies: raised apart but very similar personalities
  • Parents don’t add much to personality development other than passing on their genes

Q

Explain environment factors of personality like tune about it ?

A

If i wrote an essay on it i can waffle it :

The environment in which we are raised plays a KEY ROLE in shaping
our personalities:
* Our parents,
* Our schools
* Our community
* Our Religion
* The broader nation in which we reside
All play a huge role in how our personalities are shaped.
We may be born with a genetic predisposition but the extent to which
this gains full functional significance can be hindered or fostered by our environment.
