Nurture is by definition an act or series of acts that foster growth or development. It implies the thing being nurtured is in existence. THis is important because in the definition of Nature, a thing is caused to be or to come into existence. Nature suggests DNA and many medical and psychological findings are traced to our DNA family, ethinic and geographical histories over time. I believe therefore Nature is more influential and that the question is best answered in relation to specifics, such as placing the question in a series of contexts including: is nurture more ifluential than nature as it relates to childhood behavior during various stages of development. In this context the question becomes more interesting as it relates to the influences upon the developing mind of a person. In that case I believe the answer would then be that nurture would be more influential. One person's humble opinion to this intriguing question.

Effect of nature and nurture on the personality of the individual?
Nurture - Although "nurture" has historically been referred to as the care given to children by their parents, in particular their mother, it is now widely regarded as any environmental (not genetic) factor in the contemporary nature versus nurture debate. This includes the influences on development arising from prenatal, parental, extended family and peer experiences, extending to influences such as media, marketing and socio-economic status. Indeed, a substantial source of environmental input to human nature may arise from stochastic variations in prenatal development. Additionally, although childhood experience (especially early childhood experience) is often regarded as more influential in who one becomes than post-childhood experience, a liberal interpretation of "nurture" might count all life experience as "nurture".Nature - Genetic and various inborn biological factors affecting overall development.Nature or NurtureNeither one more or less.

Difference between nurture and nature?
The "nature vs. nurture" debate suggests that either genetics ("nature") or the environment ("nurture'') played a major role in producing particular behaviors, personality traits, psychological disorders, or pretty much any other thing that a human does.

In short, it's the interaction of genes and environmental influences that determines what humans do.
