Question

People have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviors are formed. Two
distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed. The two approaches are very different
from one another. The controversy is often referred to as nature and nurture. Those who support
the nature side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are largely
determined by biological and genetic factors. That our environment has little to do with our
abilities, characteristics, and behavior is central to this theory. Proponents of the nurture theory
claim that our environment is more important than our biologically based instinct in determining
how we will act. They see humans as beings whose behavior is almost completely shaped by their
surroundings. Neither of these theories can yet fully explain human behavior. In fact, it is quite
likely that the key to our behavior lies somewhere between these two extremes. That the
controversy will continue for a long time is certain.​
