NATURE VS NURTURE
Nature: refers to an individual's qualities,
Example: Nature is your genes. The physical and personality traits determined by your genes stay the same irrespective of where you were born and raised.
Factor: Nature factors that trigger an individual to commit crime are influences by biological and family factors.
Nurture: refers to personal experiences
Example. Someone could be born with genes to give them a normal height, but be malnourished in childhood, resulting in stunted growth and a failure to develop as expected.
Factor: Nurture factors that trigger an individual to commit crime are influences by social and environment factors….
Nature vs nurture in personality traits:
Personality is a frequently cited example of a heritable trait that has been studied in twins and adoptions. Identical twins reared apart are far more similar in personality than randomly selected pairs of people. Likewise, identical twins are more similar than fraternal twins. Each observation suggests that personality is heritable to a certain extent. However, these same study designs allow for the examination of environment as well as genes. Adoption studies also directly measure the strength of shared family effects. Adopted siblings share only family environment. This would mean that shared family effects on personality are zero by adulthood. As is the case with personality, non-shared environmental effects are often found to out-weigh shared environmental effects. That is, environmental effects that are typically thought to be life-shaping (such as family life) may have less of an impact than non-shared effects, which are harder to identify. One possible source of non-shared effects is the environment of pre-natal development. Random variations in the genetic program of development may be a substantial source of non-shared environment.
