Question Answered step-by-step How does the below relate to this day in age? How does genetics… How does the below relate to this day in age? How does genetics influence personality?      Genetics can influence personality because of DNA, every person inherits traits from their parents and when you inherit traits from your parents that can have a lot to do with your personality trait for example if one of your parents is schizophrenic it is very likely that you may be schizophrenic which as we know will affect your personality. Gjerde and colleagues (2015), for example, reported 67% of differences in avoidant personality and 53% of differences in obsessive-compulsive personality can be explained by genetic factors.  Do you think genetics or culture impacts your personality more?     When it comes to genetics or culture it is hard to determine which one has more influence than the other, I believe that they both play hand in hand when it comes to the impact of our personality, but genetics may have a stronger hold on the shaping of our personality. It all comes down to nature vs nurture, if you inherit a mental disorder from one or both of your parents is likely that if you do not have a stable environment, that mental disorder will only enhance, meaning, your culture or environment does have a lot to do with the developing of your personality, but it will not get rid of your inherited personality trait because that is genetics. Bandura (1977) social learning theory states that aggression is learned from the environment through observation and imitation.  Social Science Psychology PSYCH 645 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
