    The famous discussion of nature vs. nurture was somewhat interrupted by the realization that both aspects, genetics and environment, have important input in individuals. By combining the studies of genetics and psychology it is possible to correlate results from the fields and search for possible, and hopefully specific, genes involved in the expression of certain traits. For instance, Poulin et al (2011) explored the relationship between receptor genes of oxytocin and vasopressin and prediction of prosocial behavior. In this particular study, Poulin et al (2011) intended to “examine whether oxytocin and vasopressin interact with threat to predict prosocial behavior outside the contexts of the laboratory and close relationships” by examining…

    Medical Daily writer, Dana Dovey, journalist of Nature vs. Nurture Debate: 50-Year Twin Study Proves It Takes Two To Determine Human Traits, has written that “A culmination of more than half a century of research collected on 14.5 million pairs of twins has finally concluded that the nature versus nurture debate is a draw” (Dovey). In other words, Dana Dovey restates Dr. Beben Benyamin’s research that nurture (environment) and nature (genes) both play an equal role in deciding one’s personality. The nurture v. nature controversy is one of the most everlasting altercations in the area of the study of the mind. Advocates of the nature theory trust that foreordained hereditary qualities at last direct the main part of one's identity and choices.…

    In psychology, there is a very contentious topic called the “nature vs nurture” debate. The “nature” of the argument states that a child's personality, behavior, culture, etc. is shaped from their genes, and it is all hereditary. The “nurture” side of the debate argues that all these things are shaped from a child’s environment and experiences. The Other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates written by Wes Moore, supports the “nurture” side of the debate. The book follows the lives of two young boys, both with the same name, and how their environments and people around them influence their decisions and their futures.…

    For my final PowerPoint project, the topic I chose is how technology affects a child's social and brain development. This is relevant to Developmental Psychology, because in the last 10 years or so technology has consumed our lives. Children at the age of 2 already can use most tablets and cells phones before they can read, if early childhood is when children are "sponges" how is using technology affecting the way they learn . Also older children who have been using this technology since the age of 1 or 2 how do they interact with other kids their age after always being glued to a tablet. I chose this topic because the video we watched when the semester began stuck with me, children can learn so much at such a young age and I began to think…

    The often debated concept of Nature vs. Nurture has in recent years become less of a polarizing topic. With advancements in psychology and biology, the factors that go in to the etiology of certain disorders and diseases have become more clear, but also less clearly distinct from one another. The lines between what is caused by environmental factors or by biological factors are becoming more and more blurred. In particular, social anxiety acts as an excellent example of how these factors can become intermixed to create the symptomology of a disorder. It has become clear to modern scientists that social anxiety disorder results from a complex interplay between environmental and biological factors.…

    Nature versus nurture has been a debatable issue since as early as the 17th century in psychology. The issue consists on whether humans are how they are because of their nature or because how they are nurtured during child development. In a 2007 article, McLeod contributes that nature is what humans inherit while nurture is environmental influences. Researches and psychologists who are strong in their position of nature are called nativists. Meanwhile, the researchers and psychologists who agree on nurture are called empiricists (“Nature vs. Nurture, 2007, para.…

    Feral children are also extremely critical evidence toward the nature versus nurture debate because the evidence favors the nurture argument, which relates to the conception that humans do and think specific things because they are taught to do so. Feral children are proof to this as they show that without the fitting human socialization they usually do not expand their comprehension of language, emotions, a sense of right and wrong or the norms of human…
