Twin studies are very useful in this area because monozygotic (MZ) twins‚ who share 100% of their DNA‚ will prove whether or not aggression (or any other behaviour for that matter) is due to the genes we inherit. If the aggressiveness between MZ twins is more similar‚ this is considered to be down to the role of genes; for example‚ Coccaro et al found that nearly 50% of the

and how they interact to influence development and shape us as individuals. The essay will define nature and nurture separately and it examine how they influence our development and behaviour by looking at research which was carried out on “Virtual Twins” and the genetic influences on peoples well being and health for example neonatal lung disease.

environment factors…. Nature vs nurture in personality traits: Personality is a frequently cited example of a heritable trait that has been studied in twins and adoptions. Identical twins reared apart are far more similar in personality than randomly selected pairs of people. Likewise‚ identical twins are more similar than fraternal twins. Each observation suggests that personality is heritable to a certain extent. However‚ these same study designs allow for the examination of environment as
