AbstractThe article covers the debate between nature and nurture. Within the article there is an introduction in which the hypothesis is provided and a literature review that provides the reader with previous studies conducted on the comparison between nature and nurture. The methods, findings, discussion, and recommendations of the research study are also provided within the article. Introduction and literature review The research question is: When comparing Nature and Nurture in children, which one is stronger than the other? The hypothesis is: Nature has a stronger correlation power than nurture when it comes to individual differences between males and females. There is a great controversy whether inherited genes or environment influence and influence our personality, development, behavior, intelligence and ability. This dispute is often recognized as the fueling nature of the conflict. Some people believe that it is strictly genes that influence the way we live, others believe that it is the environment that influences us, and some believe that both of these factors influence us. A wide variety of characteristics have been taken into account in such debates, including personality, sexual orientation, gender identity, political orientation, intelligence, and propensity for violence or crime (Wright, 1998). Human nature is the range of human behaviors that are believed to be innate rather than learned. There is much debate about which behaviors are innate and which are learned, and whether or not this division applies equally to all individuals. Although historically the term "nurture" may have primarily referred to the care provided to children by their parents, any environmental (non-genetic) factor would also count as "nurture" in the contemporary nature versus nurture debate, including childhood friends. , the first experiences with television and the experience in the mother's womb (Wright,1998). Indeed, a substantial source of environmental input to human nature may arise from external variations in prenatal development (Wright, 1998). In any case, social scientists have struggled for centuries to decide whether our personalities are born or formed. Tests are often performed on identical twins who have been separated to see how they are affected. Over the past twenty years it has been discovered that there is a genetic component to almost every human trait and behavior (Pinker, 2002). However, genetic influence on traits and behavior is partial because genetics accounts for on average half of the variation in most traits (Pinker, 2002). Researchers are finding that the balance between genetic and environmental influences for some traits changes as people age (Pinker, 2002).
