Key Concepts

Gene-Environment Interaction

This concept explains that genetic predispositions and environmental factors do not operate independently, but rather interact in complex ways to influence human development. It supports the understanding that our traits and behaviors are the result of dynamic processes where biological influences and life experiences intertwine, leading to the conclusion that we are both 'born' and 'made'.

This key concept concerns the discussion within psychology and related disciplines about the extent to which genetic inheritance (nature) and environmental influences (nurture) shape an individual's development, behavior, and personality. It emphasizes the importance of both biology and experience, highlighting that these factors interact continuously throughout a person’s life.
