Nature vs. Nurture

Need help with my Psychology question – I’m studying for my class.

Nature vs. Nurture

1. Think about: Which do you think played a more significant part in your development? The way you were raised or the genes your inherited from your parents?

2. Video Clip

Watch: http://bit.ly/1syfhbw

During the video clip, think about the following questions:

• What does the first experiment tell us about the influence of parenting?
• Why does Dr. Heinz choose monkeys to experiment on?
• What does the second experiment tell us about the influence of genetics?

3. Watch the following videos:

a. Twins: http://bit.ly/1BbGwLo ; Read the Jim Twins section.

b. Warrior Gene: http://abcn.ws/1pMwRVt

Now that you’ve watched the videos above, please answer the following questions in your initial post for this discussion board:

1. Which do you think is more influential in a person’s development: nurture or nature? Why?

2. How might individuals overcome

3. Which do you believe was more influential in your development: nurture or nature? Why?

You initial response should be at least 250 words. Your responses to two peers should be the same length and in 3-2-1 format.
